      The current rules don’t spec which motor we are allowing for the BRM series.  Did we decide on Pink/Purple or Red can?

      Build it strong.
      Keep it simple.
      Make it work.

        We will be using the pink motors in the BRM series.  Thanks for the question.

          Marty,

          By limiting the BRM series to pink motors only, we may be eliminating competitors before the series starts. I know for a fact Clark has a pink motor, but Priscilla has only the red motor.

          Since the BRM series is a “sprint” compared to  our LeMans endurance race, I feel red motors  should be allowed along with pinks for our series. Motor longevity should not be an issue with this format of racing.

            Jim, 

            You bring up a good point.  I wanted to stick to the pink motor because the braking characteristics are so much better and their performance does not fade so much in a five minute heat.  Honestly I don’t care if someone wants to run a red motor other than the fact there is no way they will be competitive.  

            I have a couple of new pink motors if anyone would like to put one in before the race on Saturday or earlier.
