was asked by a friend the other day who is right into motor sport if anyone had ever run a diesel engine in a stockcar and if not why not
can anyone answer this question for me as other than the obvious engine size and speed issues cant see a reason why or is there something in the rule books thats bans them

and you can run forced induction, which pritty much makes a diesel under 4.0l completely useless, just look at no turbo sarfari's, 4.2l diesel, which can get mowed off by a honda city ;D
