im assuming not many of you stayed around until the complete engine was torn down because you would know that the engine builder could not clarify the camshaft that came out of the motor, he also lipum tested the fuel cell ''positive'' for CHP.  Now the question i want to know is that even an ingram motor? because mike wouldnt cheat a 604.  im wondering if its one of those hendrick cheater motors or even one of those RPM motors because i didnt see ANY ingram decals on the motor like the other crates do...plus it had the yellow cable tie tags on it, im pretty sure everyone else has the silver fastrack tags...


Mine is an ingram motor and has no stickers on it and the yellow tags also when a crate is tore down it is reassembled with the yellow tags from Mike

I think your just trying to start some crap.
If this was not Mike Ingrams engine why would he helping Cory pull the engine?

The  day they say you have to buy a motor from the first company in America to sell Chinese manufactured cars.. I guarantee there will be one less car and another enemy of the sport complaining about the noise.

If I have to buy LM's at $ 160.00 each and that's the only tire I can use it cost me $640.00 a set.
Now it's open tire rule do I run Hoosiers or AR's at $100.00each, need both brand because i'm not sure what tire I need tonight so now i'm at $800.00. I think a spec tire saves money and space in the shop and trailer.

 

If the spec and open tires wear the same the open tires are cheaper for you.  Sure with the open tires you have to spend $800 on tires vs $640 for the spec tire to start the year.  But say they both last 2 nights.  You tire cost per night with the open tires is $200 and for the spec tire it is $320.  So going into your 3rd night of racing you will have spent more $$ on spec tires, $1280 for 2 sets, then you would for 3 sets of open tires @ $1200.  Unless you are racing very few nights you will spend less money overall on open tires if the wear is the same as the spec tire.

Burghfan ! Open tire open motor with weight .. They are saying 2600 pounds with 602?

2800 604/spec motor

3100 OPEN Motor

400 pounds for Cory is like all the other cars with open motors and their family riding along.

OPEN parts " Trickle Down " to Budget racers !

Mandated parts are throw aways who wants second hand " lower cost "..( Ie 602 is a pickup motor spare part )

EXCEPT .. you use the vortek heads / Intake and block and make a good spec !

See even Cory can sell his crate parts as the base for a do it yourself ( unless you have a Champion motor builder ) " Home built " 350

Late Model tires/ Transmissions / spoilers / noses / sides and backs !  are part of every car that ran the Laboon !

Again .. Shatz doesn't drive it in the wall if it doesn't turn .. I liked it better when you compared me to bloomquist !  He is more like me .. Ultra aggressive and ultra smooth . If that wall at PPMS was like Eldora I could skip off it once in a while and keep going ..  

 

And addition to the above .. Open " Hard" tires

I do not know DavyLee personally just seen him race a few times and Eric Goldberg is no kid Robbie Torrens is no kid. As far as a cheater motor what for a bag of chips. All i"m saying is a can drive.

Its the fast way around  unless you have unlimited hp!

If you would have fixed the brakes tim you wouldn't have had torn up equipement !

I won 26 features in 3 different hobby stocks and an old timers race against guys with 406 and with a legal 305 !  it was teched many times .

won 4 straight and 11 total in 2007 D Thanks for asking and I want to buy your friend a beer and tell him about my fishing trip!

 

And Corey would win in every division he races I believe .. he runs great at lernerville then first time at ppms he does that !!

The guy that drover the 93X ( rick I believe ) is on record for winning in every class at ppms I believe ( until they started young guns ) and I believe corey will do the same thing over times .
