Ok, just was on alpha's site since the block reminded me of something familiar. I saw a red head alpha run like crazy in a buggy on a short track. They're fast. However, we run on a pretty big track and my friends new B6 with a OS 2050 pipe was by far the fastest buggy there that day and some pretty fast guys run at lost creek. It was considerably faster than my speed. Both engines have been etched in my memory. I had never liked nor disliked either brand. Just an observation. Here's a fact, the clockworks B5 i just got trumps anything i've seen run or driven. Truth. But that's another story.
