OK, to recap up to this point.

OP-WHY race small blocks, what is the allure.

Answers:
BECAUSE-
-they are lighter
-they fit in smaller places, take up less room.
-we are RPM junkies
-we are cheap
-as if being a Mopar guy is not underdog enough, now we are the underdog of the underdogs.
-the challenge of doing more with less
-more junkyard parts availability
-we are masochists who enjoy the pain and struggle of wringing out all the performance we can find
-we don't know any better (AKA it's all we've ever raced)
-it's the only way to use up all these parts I've accumulated for twenty years
-Big Blocks Suck
-exotic Nascar engines that require a ton of work to re-engineer, and install (see masochists)
-we don't have enough chips on our shoulder
-we have W8s and you don't
-need room for the turbo
-r5p7
-we think trying to run fast at 3800lbs is even crazier than trying to run fast with less inches

Ok, did I miss any so far?
