[QUOTE="DBK, post: 16655733, member: 4088"] Nope. There was an opportunity to do some mechanical improvements but that time was a long time ago, and there was no appetite to do it. I think I was at Daytona 24 in 2019 and that was right about the time it got the "nope." There's a deadline date for this kind of stuff due to the way it gets paid for. It was a very small expense, but as soon as you reach a certain date you're spreading the cost over 250 cars (or whatever) vs. the 650 remaining at the time which makes it untenable. And that was for a very, very inexpensive program relative to what a literal new engine in the car would cost. And not for nothing, but if you put that engine in the car, you'd be able to count on having a fuel tank that would hold a solid few tablespoons of gas. The program is done. Final year model year changeover is happening now. There's a couple more things to come but nothing major. Obviously, [b][U]thank God[/U][/b] Hackett is gone and Jim is the CEO now, but even with a gearhead as CEO, not something that's gonna happen. [/QUOTE]
