true but that is relative since we all run INS boxes

these rules are retarded and are hurting nitro far more then they are helping....time for the racers to stand up and tell the clowns at EFFRA to go pound it in the sand.... they are just a small group of guys who are looking for a easy cash grab.....making these silly arbitrary rules all over some imaginary noise issue.... time for people to wake up and see whats really happening here ! ..

AGREED!


And you haven't gone against one of my modified 7 ports, as one of mine fully opened up on a 9mm with no INS would eat your Ison 7mm/INS like a bon bon....complete and utter destruction..I would have at least 40% more HP then you ...


Doubt that, plus the modded 5port i am referring to is on a murnan sponsored driver, say what you want about murnan but the engine is fast. i have been building race engines my entire adult life. Plus of course your engine would be faster than a INS/7mm engine??? thats comparing apples to oranges.

milder engines don't mind being choked back as much as powerful engines do......

True

these rules you guys follow are crippling the performance of your cars..all over some imaginary noise issues that only exist at one or two tracks in Europe..... I owned a track for 5 years and the only complaints we got was from the PA system...never from the cars...........

I am going to do everything I can to see to it that the EFFRA engine rules get put in the dumpster where they belong..or at the least only enforced at tracks where the track owner feels there is a noise issue.... other then that lets let open innovation win and not cripple any potential evolution with some arbitrary rules nobody seems to understand the purpose of......

But the scenario is relative, they all use INS boxes

in the end these engine rules have not resulted in cheaper racing, all they have done is substantially slowed the cars down... is this what the racers want ? do you racers really like the idea of leaving all that extra power on the table because of some noise issues at a track in Europe ?
