What sort of engine does the G/Econo Altrered car have?

Some type of very modified inline four, but what brand?

[vhfanguy]

@OzzInter more than likely its the inline 4 GM EcoTech motor. Some altered cars also use the inline 6 motor from the Trailblazers. If you ever hear one in person, the engine is sooooo loud. Very high pitched.

[gonygonygo]

@rayefield

I love Comp Elim.

They still use the 1320 foot rather than the 1000 foot distance.

There is a mix of vehicle styles.

The handicap start system encourages driver skill

@bird444trod916 Comp Eliminator uses an index system. It's not who crosses the line first, it's who can beat their class index time.
