It's sad to say but I'm really pleased to be out of cadets now.

Iame Cadet was great when the engines first arrived, with far better parity (than Comer) somehow that was allowed to slip to the stage where nobody wants new engines and an engines value is heavily influenced by the letters A or B

Honda cadet, rather than being the cheaper "box stock" class, it was intended to be, is now becoming a class ruled (and priced) by finding the rarest of parts that are at the limit of very limit of allowable tolerance.

In both classes the focus has become the engine, not helped by a new crop of bambino dads coming up who have already become conditioned to the idea that they need to pay big for "big engines"

In my view the Iame class needs to look at tkm and ask how they get such good engine parity (ignoring the tag dd debate). Talko are very proactive, when there have been problems i.e. Altering the fiche on tag ignition timing when it appeared they'd gained an advantage and offering a check and replace policy, on parts, when a builder had been found to be cheating.

As for Honda, I think the horse has bolted there. It would have been far cheaper and far more even if Honda engines had the best parts selected out, rather than selected in I.e. If they'd made the fiche tighter than Hondas manufacturing tolerance. It seems crazy checking through a 100 crankshafts to find the 1 or two best, where as, even if you rejected (and marked non msa) the best and worst 10, you'd still have 80, much closer good ones. It would be the same with every part, so out of 100 engines you build and seal 70-80% good engines, rather than finding less than 10% you can sell as sp's. Given the money already out there in SP engines, that change isn't going to happen.
