in theory, possibly they don't include rails as yet but will consider on a case by case basis although there seems to be a bit of politics involved and i don't do politics. also with working odd shift patterns i cannot make all rounds in any series,so will be racing as and when i am able at various tracks in various classes. i'm not chasing silverware just want to go as quick as possible ;D

thats the $64000 question ;D, this motor albeit in n/a form ran a 13.5 without gas in my beetle(12.5 with a small shot of gas) that was with treaded tyres and a stock box so granny launches. so now it's turbod and once i learn to drive the curse word I'm kind of looking for regular 10's bearing in mind this is not an out and out race motor, that comes next ;D
