It was also a great time to pick my friend Bryan Lively’s brain on the direction he felt the 4.1, 640 cubic inch class is heading. Bryan always has a very clear and concise view of the sport. Here is a compilation of our conversation:
The one topic that seemed to be in the forefront was the 4.1 Limited Pro Stock class. While I realize that the LPS class is not new, it does seem that the class is at a defining crossroads in its evolution. After watching some of the new LPS that were at Gordyville it is becoming apparent that the class is showing tremendous growth . Some of the concerns that were voiced ...
