Why was Spec started - you are correct to have a low budget alternative to Cup Cars.
Where does the rules changing road lead? - If guided properly (not saying I know best mind you) increased reliability and equality among cars. You should see the stink I through up when they wanted to allow offset woodruff keys and A/M valve springs. Some changes are needed. and some need revision - go see the rules on exhaust and tell me they make sense?
Why don't I move up a class? - I don't want the paycheck war that other classes bring. I just finished college so no extra money for me. Spec gives a good amount for mods yet keeps every car reasonably the same. There will be some evolution and thats that.
Why headers but not pistons? - to my knowledge the header coating doesn't give a performance increase however the piston would. but the header increases reliability by lower engine bay temps and reducing the stress on the oil.
To full of class? - No Way man. I was a beginner once and was super slow for a while. I just saved my pennies and built my car slowly. The car grew with me. Don't trick yourself into thinking you will be class winner your first time out. As a racer of a whooping 3 years
- The bigger the class the better, it sucks when a lap or two after the green it turns into an overpriced DE session.
the $200 here and there comment - I agree but unless you have a ton of money the car wont be built in a day. save your money and spend it on the minimum required to race then add goodies as you see fit. There are plenty of build guides out there. print a few off and prioritize. No one is making you put coating on. and I would be willing to bet in a close race, the coating won't be the difference maker.
I lack alot of facts on the coating so I am doing research. if in fact it does at 100 hp then i wont push for it. I will, in fact, push for the ban of header wrap because i feel (again with limited knowledge) that the wrap and the coating are the same
