Love it. Just love it. I might be so called retired because i'm broke but would be out there in a minute if i could. I strongly feel the class should always have the claim rule. Corey smokes almost everybody anywhere he races. It's his total combination. Not just his power plant.
When Poncho claimed our motor in the very same desert the you all just raced 23 years ago, it wasn't because Poncho felt we were cheating. It was because our combination was faster than his over a very long period of time. Racing "back in the day" was super hard core. Way more intense then whats going on now in my humble opinion. He wanted to know why our car would outrun his. So he paid the $1000 bucks and we gave him our long block. He was now able to find out what we were doing, What made our motor buzz. This my friends is how this class works.
I keep reading this and most think this move was terrible. It might seem that way. I know if i lost my motor it would wipe me out. But that is the chance we take when we sign up to race class 9. Victor Torres has his "list" of all his parts he uses and i am sure he can put together an identical motor for Corey without too much worry. Does he buy super light wrist pins? Does he spend a hundred hours setting up his heads and doing his deck height just right. Only those two know. Just remember, lots of vw engines available on craigslist running for $1000.
