Jeff, I'll have one ready by next spring, I would say at best it should be on double secret probation, I'd even go as far as no points awarded till it's approved. This way the weight and so forth can be tweek till it's close. CR.

Given that history, how can we expect to forge ahead with a totally different engine/transmission design? Shouldn't we determine HOW and WHO can do legitimate testing prior to engaging in this conversation? If not, I fear we will legalize another engine/transmission with some sort of unsubstantiated penalty/restriction....and no one will use it....and the water will get more murky than it is currently.
