IMO Sundays race wasn’t a day to compair and come to a conclusion on the maximum preformance of a racers power plant.
I also wonder where you got the “understanding” that this new motor would be allowed to compete with all the other TAGs? More than a month ago I understood TAGUSA was starting a nother class of tag four strokes with these motors.
Larry I have nothing against the newer four strokes and am a little excited about there development. Yet, for $2,000 more in intial investment I sort of hope that these motors preform better than the current TAG motors, even though the last thing karting needs is more classes to choose from.Freezeman,
I agree that given the unusal conditions of Sunday’s race that it is not the best indicator of things to come. My concern is how far will we go into the season before a decision is made?
My understanding came from a discussing with Brad. He had been talking with Marty Cassey of TagUSA and the thought at the time was that it would be good to run the Jr Vampire together with the two strokes here in Colorado as a test bed.
I also am excited about the development of these new engines. I think they are a sign of things to come. They are more expensive up front but my hope is that the overall cost of operation will be lower because of higher reliability and lower maintenance costs. I know that has proven to be true with my motorcycles. I do think they offer more performance potential than the current Tag engines but they are being restricted by TagUSA with the intent to level the playing field. We all know how difficult that is.
“they are being restricted by TagUSA with the intent to level the playing field. We all know how difficult that is.”
Yes, very difficult and if this is the test bed for figuring it out I certainly would hope that it would take more than one rain race to come to a conclusion. A test bed is one thing and racing for season points is a nother.
Which one are you doing? Do you expect booth?
