Let me throw another point of view into this mix. I have no answer to the cash wars approach to racing, but lets use the SRF example. Since I have never had the amount of cash it would take to buy 10 motors, dyno them, and take the one with 2 more horsepower, I hadn't even considered that a possibility.
Apparently, it has (or is) being done. That being said, my personal view is that if someone beats me because he has 2 extra ponies, then I need to learn how to drive faster! I mean, if they had 8-10 on me, I could live with myself saying someone "out motored" me, but I would truly chuckle if anyone said they got beat with 2 more horsepower! :(
We have all beaten cars with significantly more straight line speed haven't we? You have to be able to put that power to the ground in the corners, you have to have the balls (Ladies included) to steer the car around the corners, and to drive fast enough to scare the crap out of youself at least once a lap.
Anyone who thinks anything different is just kidding themselves IMHO.
O.K., I'm done, who wants a beer? :birra:
