Keith,
I agree that some might frown on using an out of class motor to qualify
for long course. I disagree that you need the long course to set a
record, however. Unless it is a streamliner, very few records 175 MPH or
less were set on the long course. If the record was set on the long
course and you can't reach 175 MPH on a three mile course, you probably
are not going to qualify anyway.
To everyone I say, "What ever we do...let's keep it legal"!
