This is what I meant. The engines are only good for a run or 2 before they need to be rebuilt/replaced.

doesnt matter since they are torn down after every run, and checked over carefully for any damage. it wouldnt do to not check them over, and have one window a block and cost a chance at big prize money because the team was too cheap to to replace a few wear parts.

and even then the blocks that get windowed, get repaired unless they either cant find all the pieces, or the window is too big.

Being in the pits at the Ennis Motorplex for nationals was always a blast. I recall being just behind the starting line on some TF runs. My eyeballs literally shook and my vision was blurred. It shakes your insides in a way that leaves you uneasy, like a good roller coaster. Quite the experience.

10,000 HP is two of theses as your back up generator enough to power a city block or small town in power outage
