The Offenhouser was a 4 cylinder and it sure seemed to get the job done

Dave,
Yes the Offy was a bad ass motor. I think this will open the door for Ford/Cosworth. and others too make a serious come back to the Indy field.

They are going to be turbocharged. The best CART cars ever where the turbocharged cars they used in the late 90's before Tony George decided to launch his "all american drivers" series and killed open wheel racing for about 8 seasons.......
The best thing the IRL did was get rid of Tony George and bring in some guys that actually know what they are doing. I welcome the turbo's back....and I am excited for it!

No biggie I guess. They'll end up winding the piss out of those things to the point that they'll sound like F1 cars.
Next up, 6 banger NASCAR hybrid cars. :LOL:
