It's inevitable Spec E30 will go the exact same way as Spec Miata. Once it gets popular, the guys with money will come into the class for the "close competition" and destroy that close competition with expensively prepped cars. The little secret eventually gets out. It won't be long before some enterprising businessman/woman will launch
www.spece30motors.com and sell well prepared and "tear-down-legal" Spec E30 BMW motors. The top guys will buy one to stay ahead of their competitors and so it goes. That's racing folks! I mean, do we know for sure that there aren't already Sunbelt motors in that class? The camera car was stupid fast compared to most of the other cars out there.
NASA have an opportunity to kill that right away with the engine claim rule. Lets learn from the missed opportunities of old.
