Having read the recent posts on the other thread it seems that nobody is quite sure exactly what a 19T motor is.

Is it:

a) A hand wound 19T arm with bearings and open timing.
b) A machine wound 19T arm fixed to 24 degrees using bushings.

It would seem to me that option b would offer a slightly faster class than the current stock motor but would otherwise be exactly the same. There won't be any money saving because as soon as this becomes settled as a class the manufacture costs would be the same as stock!

If option a is your flavour them it seems that this would just be reinstating (a slightly faster) group 20, after all what's one turn on the motor? Even with several manufacturers I can't see the cost being any less for one of these motors than a Modified motor (because that's essentially what it is). If the class sticks around long enough then you will have the situation that occured with G20 - the motors will be developed to the point where they are close to a modified motor. This would of course hurt the numbers in Modified whilst not effecting stock as much.

Either way I can't see a 19T motor class being helpful to the sport in this country in the long term.

Perhaps someone else might like to start a poll called 'Which 19T did you vote for?'

Maybe I'm being a bit cynical but that's how I see it. Strength in numbers, lets not split up our classes.
