This engine is not allowed in our series
So now the MWR D2 legal Ecotec is not allowed? Why? So an engine that meets all the rules and has been legal since the inception of the D2 rules is illegal because someone pointed out it costs $15k? How convenient....

I have NO IDEA what you mean about "NEW" D-2....there are STOCK engines out there that is over 8 years old...I have 1 of them and one just won the 2018 GDN
New as in not used. I have no idea how that had to be explained.

I have not made a damn dime because I give it ALL back to the racer...I have NEVER received or am NOT planning on receiving anything for my cars so you need to quit with the he said she said crap and get YOUR facts straight, unlike others do. And Yes I have and do run "JUNK YARD" engines...2015 championship was won with a totally stock 2.0 focus from Rusty Acres I bought for $375.00. I am running a 2.4 ecotec with the stock intake and plenum for this year..again get your facts right
So the question was whether you have received or are planning to receive a free or reduced cost engine. You have denied that. At the end of the 2017 season I talked KMOD into offering Badger legal Honda engines because we need more capable engine builders. I started letting people know about KMOD. In just a matter of weeks Wayne contacted Marquis, the owner of KMOD about a free or reduced cost engine. I know this because Marquis himself told me so when I specifically asked him after he started asking me questions about the Southern States series and how it differs from Badger....I'm sure we will get 1000 excuses and various spins, or even outright lies on how this did not happen...
This is called unethical behavior. People who own a series should not be allowed to have a car in said series, period. This is why racing series should be non-profit with an elected board of directors who can be voted out by the members. Now I'm officially done talking about this crap.
