Reply To: Some explaination is in order

The protest last Sunday was uncalled for.
This is exactly why sealed motors and the TAG concept came to be.
To get away from this kind of crap of motor protest and checkbook racing.
A lot of time, effort and money has been put into finding the best solution
for putting all the various TAG motors on an even playing ground by several national sanctioning bodies. And adjustments to the rules for each motor are being made as more is being discovered about the differences in these motor packages.
As already said, many think it’s all about the motor.
They forget about chassis setup and driver skill.
And then they don’t spend the time testing and learning what they need to learn to get the most out of themselves and their racing package.
If someone wants to protest a motor, then fine let them, but before they open their mouth, they should be ready to cut a check to cover the cost of shipping and resealing the motor via an approved service center.
Frankly, I hope the ones who want to play the protest game either go to 4 stroke motors or shifters. (Nothing personal on those two setups)
Then they can checkbook race and point fingers all they want.
Let’s keep racing affordable, fast, clean and fun.
