I'm not against the use of GX200. It maybe is the logical motor to use? Single GX160 Cadet, Twin GX160 Junior and the GX200 for Senior.

For me I'd be worried racing where there is effectively no rules, what is to stop someone spending a couple of hundred quid on getting seals made. Then making their motors more equal?

It's fair enough saying a motor has been dyno'd and is producing X bhp. That one is equal to the other one, but it maybe isn't? What about power curve, torque, how long it holds max power in the rev range? Is the dyno is run completed in the controlled environment (humidity, temperature, pressure) Y number of times to provide and an accurate result?

Are rules and regs going to be drawn up? Are authorised sealing agents going to be appointed? If someone is completely happy with another engine builder why should they change? (I've been a happy RPM customer in the past so it doesn't bother me personally)

They are genuine concerns, I'm not trying to noise anyone up or anything (unlike Brian, cheeky little devil that he is).
