Anyone gonna say what it was being tested? Shouldn't be so secret if it's to help all the teams eventually

Nope! Not yet.

I believe Salinas said something about getting his PSB license and running with his daughter next year, but nothing about AJ leaving.

I thought he he said he might run a bike at Vegas

Data is king...
Just think about this way, people talk about how great a racer Don Garlits is. He tried new things and learned.
He is a innovator.
Not saying that Mike is a Garlits, but only time will tell.

No comparison. Mike is no Garlits. You could make that comparison with AJ(who is likely the brain behind whatever is being tested). but Mike? He does nothing but drive

A main cap girdle. A lot of teams are pulling out main studs and AJ is hoping this helps with this. All fuel teams received an email yesterday.

You were supposed to let everyone speculate longer Kyle.

Ya, I guess the multi multi millionaire that funds his own team and daughters and has some of the best looking equipment in the its is well "not too bright".

Something similar to the old Milodon block?

According to the letter sent out to car owners it looks like a blower restrictor plate. Same as Nascar uses at some of its races.

Salinas was testing a main girdle as Kyle stated.

Wait and see what they do.

Well, if they slow the cars down in 2020, then there is still a chance to run 340 this year.

What goes around, comes around!

Back in the early 60's , the "New" main cap support device [girdle] became the thing to do, as we started to learn how to push nitro engines harder.

Early versions were prone to oil leaks, as pan modifications and special gaskets were necessary, but they got the job done! The Donovan 417 ci aluminum block changed everything for the 392 ci Chrysler racers!
