I was at a meeting last week and Rusty Wallace was the guest speaker. Several people asked about NASCAR going to EFI. Being a former racer and now a team owner he said he is against it. NASCAR keeps telling the teams they will find ways to make the sport less expensive to run. Rusty said that is not true because it will cost somewhere in the vicinity of $25,000 to modify the cars for EFI. He said the testing that has been done has shown that the current engines and cars do not like the EFI configuration they will need to run. He said it does not offer as much horse power or mileage as the current carburated engines.

He does not like the fact that this EFI is just a stop gap measure and NASCAR is already planning for a new EFI system for the cars. He believes they should take time an come up with a final version of the EFI and not force an interim system down their throats.
