Tom,

In my opinion I don’t think SKUSA is trying to stick it to us Rotax people, they just want to level the playing field and remove the “well he/she is faster than everyone else, they must be cheating” BS. And I want to publically state: Kudos to SKUSA for removing the “they’re cheating” factor. (And all this for a plastic trophy)(personally I like the plates and crystal we’ve gotten for year end…)

I believe that SKUSA’s missing the point of the sealed motor and the fact that the Dane’s; Duff’s; Rich’s; Mike Hurley’s all like to race the RMC races too. And shouldn’t be penalized for it! And that we have not one but TWO rotax centers that, if we asked nicely and paid for the wire and seals, they would probably be happy to oversee the teardown and reseal them. (A novel idea and good publicity for both rotax centers) Now I could see a potential problem if a Welch kart were subject to teardown, they would probably want Stacey to oversee thier engine for reasons we all know and aren’t going to rehash.

Hell Tom, I think I have too much common sense as a business owner to know what’s the right thing to do. I do understand that $2 is a heck of a lot for wire and seals.

Tell you what, Turnbull Mortgage Group will pay for those wires and seals. I know the owner and he says its a done deal to promote karting and in the spirit of hard clean competition. :crazy

BTW… Where’s Jacobellis? Isn’t he the class representative?
