Yup!!

Attendence at my local track has dwindled because of this. $300+ for a stock three port .12?!! . How is this class(or hobby for that matter) supposed to grow when a teenage kid going to have a heck of a time to convince his parents to buy an engine that costs that much. Three years ago(and $150 engines) we had 30-40 racers and counting but now we have less than twenty. .12 size engine technology has not advanced that much to justify the prices we see now.

$300 8-port .21.........OK

$300 3-port .12.........NOPE!!!
