Problem is that the winner can have the same results with a dozen different brands. Then everyone thinks that's the greatest engine.

You will note that I was upfront enough to mention that the vast majority of our sales are in the US, so obviously from looking at our results I'm going to assume that the majority of the voters are US based. If it was based on global sales our percentage should in my oppinion be much lower. My saying that myself should show that im not being biased or dishonest about what im stating. As far as what is going on in the US I think that you are way off base but that again is my personal opinion and as they say opinions are just like (you know what) and we all got one lol. In any case please lets try to keep this friendly as I'm not trying to start another pointless debate about who's stuff may or may not be better or whos stuff is selling better etc etc. because at the end of the day it frankly does not really matter.
sorry mate, not trying to start anything, that's just the way the post looked to me as there was no mention that this poll was solely about the US market, which by the way is GOs boom market at the moment not AUS etc... that was wrongly stated
as long as we all get to smell nitro on the weekend life is good

Too true, however I still remember about 8 years ago or so when I believe it was STS was running some type of ad's about paying 10k contingency for making the A-main at the nats and Saxton went and did it lol! If I remember correctly though he was running a new engine every qualifier though, but he still did it! The same thing happened when we were testing in Pattaya. We were pitted off to the side and it seemed like every day there were a group of people breaking in engines right next to us. As you can imagine listening to that for 5 days gets a little old so I asked what was going on and found out that they were running new engines every other day lol! So I guess anything is possible at these type of events!

No worries, i have no problem debating things with people. I actually edited my post because I did not want it to come across as too confrontational but as long as we can talk like adults and keep it shall we "say to the point" without getting upset, which you obviously can do I have no issues. I guess I'm just being a little hyper sensitive because of how things deteriorated on that thread last week lol! In any case we're all good

Might be good to see the results from the first poll compared to this one to be able to see what engine goes up and down on the list to get an idea of where people are heading. And then have it at regular intervals to see the progression Just a thought

The best bit is THEY ALL BURN NITRO
