I kind of knew what you meant with the master's class...all I wanted to hammer home was that a new class would not ruin 1/8th.
Brian:
The Mega engine was exactly the type of engine we had in mind for a spec class. A reliable, quality built and inexpensive engine...In the earlier pages of this thread, even Paulo supported the concept of a SPEC class.
This issue has been to establish a set of guidlines...for the most part we surveyed the interent and the average price for a reliable, quality type engine was less than $300....a lot of people felt that a price cap would be difficult to use as the basis for the spec class as someone can purchase a used modified engine for less than $300.
So we moved to a port limitation with a non-modified crank, as it would be easy to monitor....in addition, so not to add unnessary cost to the racers, turbo plugs are permitted
Basically, a number of engine that meet this criteria were off-road type engines.
