Also, on the rule change, com'on. It had to change eventually. The writting has been on the wall for a year. There was plenty of warning.
A rule change is not in dispute. What is is that one type of motor seems to be getting preferential treatment when it comes to legalization procedures. Secondarily, one type of motor is allowed a magnet type the other is not. And there is no price limit for one type.

A level playing field is all that is requested.

Just go back to post 12 of this thread. It is the one that sparked the whole debate in the first place. FYI, the poster is the LRP race team manager. I think he has a pretty good idea what the team will attempt to use.
