Dennis:
Explain what you mean by “money motors in tag”.
Last year I had swedetech “build” us a bone stock, restricted novice 80 motor. I had them do this becuase I was told some off the shelf motors might not pass the head volume rule. This wasn’t worth the risk to me to get caught and be labeled a “cheater”. I had to buy one anyway so I killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Under your idea’s, someone with an off the shelf motor could be banned for life for running a bone stock motor that wasn’t within spec. Brilliant idea.
TAGUSA and the Leopard importer are in a political pissing match right now over published specs and tested specs. Joe karter buys one off the shelf gets caught in the middle of this, gets teched and gets banned for life. Brilliant idea.
Is paying a motor builder $150 to make sure your motor is within spec classified as a “money motor”
People make mistakes. Manufactures make mistakes. Banning people for life for these scenarios is wrong.
