Just for example lets say that price is set at $80, very few are going to keep spending $175+ on special motors only to have it claimed after the first race. There you go no special restrictions or difficult to enforce rules, simple and effective way to get racers to work on setup and driving over motors.
Claim rules on privately owned motors? You can't legally force someone to sell their private property. Claim rules only work on handout motors.
