    Russ & Marty and club:  My suggestions are to think about these options now and be prepared to consider them When and If the need arises.

    I am really struggling how either of these two ideas add to complications for our members.  Even in the last two years we have had a few series with a boat-load of options for brands and models of car, including some with multiple options regarding motors and wheels/tires – so not sure how any of this is any More complicated than that.

    And seriously, if we can use a $9 motor that has the same performance as a $19 motor, why would we Not want the members to be aware of this and be able to Vote on it?

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
