My thoughts:
First wyattep, my son is the one who won the Animal class this year and you, or anyone else for that matter, can purchase my son?s best animal motor for $500 and his second best for $450. Conner and I have raced Comer 50?s, 80?s and the Animal, and I will tell you in my bias opinion: the Animal was by far the cheapest and easiest motor we have ran to date. I like them.
I attended the first Jr. 1 meeting, hoping that we could unite and move forward, and the only common theme every parent mentioned was cost. After that, unfortunately it became very apparent to me, that there was an agenda towards Comer 80?s. Anyway, this debate at best should be driven by what I have heard every parent express, cost and simplicity or it becomes a Ford is better than a Chevy and Dodge debate. I believe this class needs someone to pick ONE motor PERIOD.
My vote is no for the Comer and perhaps even a yes vote for Brad making the finally sole decision for this class if it has to come to that. Isn?t he making the most sense suggesting a cheap, competitive, reliable well know engine package?? Frankly, I too do not care what they do Nationally since cost doesn’t seem to be much of a factor at that level.
Finally, I realize that my vote doesn?t really matter since we are not racing in this class again.
Now what is important to me is what is the best chassis for a small driver in the TAG Jr class (Birel, Shockwave, Arrow)? Second question, what is going to be the motor of choice in that class next year (Leopard or Vampire)?
