By lookin at the 36 unoh car pics it has a unusually large spoiler which there was a lot of debate over this winter is this something that has changed in speed weeks like we see every year?
 
Supposedly he isn't using the rice burner engine until he races at Tri-City in April. I read on one of the threads here that he's using a GM until then.
 
Neither of these cars have a Toyota.
Toyota isn't done with the motors yet.
Both cars have Mullins motors in right now.

The cup engine is. Maybe Hermans engine is out of one the production Tundra's. UMP 15.1 – Engine

A.) Any American made engine will be permitted as long as the rear of the engine bell housing flange is mounted at least 72”-inches forward from the center of the rear axle. The engine offset must remain within two (2”) inches of the center line from the cross member. The minimum engine height when measured from the ground to the center of the crankshaft is 11” inches.

B.) All engines used in competition must be able to be used in a conventional passenger car without alteration. Alteration of motor mounts will not be permitted. Alteration of the castings and/or fittings will not be permitted. Any machine work on the outside of the engine or machine work on the front or rear of the crankshaft will not be permitted.

C.) Aluminum blocks will not be permitted.

D.) Magnetos will not be permitted.

E.) Wet sump oiling systems must be operative and will go with a claim by DIRTcar officials. Overall dry sump systems will not be permitted.

F.) Alteration to the cooling system will be permitted. If alterations to the cooling system are made the stock-appearing hood line must be maintained.

G.) The battery must be securely mounted and shielded. The battery must not be mounted inside the driver’s cockpit.

H.) The exhaust system(s) must be mounted with the exhaust directed away from the vehicle and/or away from the ground (preferably horizontal and outside the body of the car).

J.) The engine must be a normally aspirated configuration.

K.) Fuel injection systems or electric fuel pumps will not be permitted.

L.) There may be specific engine rules issued for each region of North America that deviate from the standard UMP Modified Engine rules included herein.
 
Of course the engines are assembled in the US, just like their trucks. It helps sell the whole "We're American" myth. Does anyone think the BMWs assembled in South Carolina and the Mercedes Benz's from Alabama aren't German? Porsche assembles cars in Finland, but I doubt any suddenly thought the Finns became sports car experts overnight because the factory opened there.
 
i dont doubt that an 8" spoiler was legal, but where was that posted? and since UMP is conducting racing in florida, when will they announce when points BEGIN and what the point system is? do the florida races not count this year for points? is it your best 1 finish per week starting feb 1? just wondered.
 
It wasn't posted anywhere that I know of.
I talked to Billy about and he said they were
allowed the 8" spoiler only at East Bay.
