However, there were 10 USGT cars powered by at least 7 different motors and the fastest to slowest best lap times were within about 1 second on a mid 16 second track layout. Having an open motor rule in USGT doesn't seem to have produced a "motor of the week" problem, at least here in Texas, like many here fear will happen in VTA.
I have to agree here, this is a very valid point. I haven't seen any true advantage in usgt with different motors. Maybe the race this month should be a testing ground in usgt to see if there is truly any difference in the variety of motors.
