Brad, you need to get some facts here..."the best" drivers in truggy being who?? lets look at the top 6 in the 2007 sdmcc championship -(I think they would qualify as being the best we have)...

1st Deano (running a GO)
2nd Eric (running a GO)
3rd Andru (running a Ninja)
4th Glenn (running a GO)
5th Peter (running a GO)
6th Grant (running ????)

well, obviously Deano was there, both Eric and Andru have retired and Glenn, Peter and Grant were all there racing - so who was missing???

The finish of MT first round was .8 of a second with a shunt deciding the outcome in favour of the Savage with LRP power, but it was a rubbing is racing incident, one of the best MT Races ive ever seen. Second round, Darrens wheel fell off "While in the lead" and Myles Go Tech Revo cruised around for an easy win.
Reliabilty had nothing to do with his "easy" win. The only reason I was out in front in the 2nd race was because he made 1 (maybe 2) pit stops one lap into the race as he was running rich.

Either way, any race could be written off as being ...ooohh only because this or that or whatever...

as Mr-s413bt as pointed out, they have already proven themselves. None of Marks statements are 1 race meet justified. I could list numerous upon numerous club race meets even a State Title these engines have won and TQ'd, off the top of my head!
