In reading the post on Corner Carvers where the Vorschlag guys are swapping an Infiniti motor into an older Z car, I saw this statement.
Also, being an OHC motor it is allowed in Redline Time Attack events (they outright banned pushrod engines! haha. too high tech I guess?)
I didn't realize that Redline didn't allow pushrod motors! I guess that rules out entering such an event with my RX-7 LS1. 
that is rediculous! there are plenty of AWESOME pushrod motors out there. I think there needs to be a racing series where anything is legal so long as it is safe. That rule set would be perfect for a time attack series.
Why would they ban pushrod engines? That doesn't make any sense given the quality of modern LS engines.
Unless it's a thinly-veiled attempt to keep domestics out of the mix?
I think that's what it is. No cheap V8s allowed, this is for imports.
No, your are not allowed to woop on us with your corvettes.

That's frustrating since my car actually is an import, but now improved with a pushrod motor.
It's because LS1 FC's will blow them out of the water. Josh's stock LS1 into an FC makes 310rwhp and is a consistent FTD overall in autocross, including National's winning SS cars. That car on a road course would be even more devastating. Wimpy import guys are tired of losing.
Says the rotary-powered RX-7 owner/racer.
If only American cars matched up to import cars overall, eh?

I'll be joining Josh in the FC LS1 club very soon!

I want an FD LS9!
ZOMG! you should have put on a helmet, it would have prevented the mess when I just BLEW YOUR MIND!
pushrod ban is only in super lap battle. not RLTA.
OK I want to see a turboed 69 Firebird Sprint or a Northstar powered Vette take on the super lap battle.
