From The Wingless Warriors by Buzz Rose
1985 "the CRA established an engine displacement limit for
the first time in the club's 39-year history. The proliferation of drag racing
based engine technology over the past five years caused a huge spike on engines
and component parts. The old iron-block 350 cu. In. Chevrolet was slowly
replaced by purpose-built aluminum monsters now capable of 450 cu. In.
displacement. Both USAC and the World of outlaws had already gone to a 410"
limit and the CRA followed suit in an effort to stabilize cost and perhaps
increase their car count as a result.
Dam Drag Racers, not only screwed-up their own sport, they also
screwed-up Sprint Car Racing.
How?
Instead of embracing Technology, Sprint Car Racers responded
by saddling themselves up with the ball & chain 410 C.I.D. rule.
Engage brain and think about it.

What happens when you match up two Offie's together? "Double
the pleasure, Double the Fun" you give the other teams the "Heebie-Jeebies'
with a Novi.
