Giving engines to an external but experienced engineer to check, preferably outside of the meeting, will reduce the burden on scrutineers especially those who may resent the amount of time taken up checking the 'budget' four stroke classes. Although for obvious reasons in some cases post race checks would still be desirable.

It will also remove the influence of chance, given the time restraints of post race scrutineering regarding what is checked and what may have been missed. This will remove the influence of anyone prepared to cheat and gamble on not being caught.

I'm not suggesting that anyone is currently cheating, on the contrary, I'm impressed at how close the engines seem to be, but while the chance of not being caught exists there will be those who are tempted.

Finally, thinking on, I would think it desirable to add a sellers premium as well as the engineers fee to the Buy-Back, so for example the seller gets an additional Ł100 on top of the cost of a new engine in 'compensation'. The Engineers fee could be Ł150 - Ł200 including postage of the engine from the circuit and on to the buyer.
