Craig Dori. All I have to do is read your stuff and your families stuff here, and on Facebook.

Didn't say you were the first, I said I understand the concern of the person that started this thread.

As did I.... With some real #'s as well. Not keeping the many folks that have asked, in the dark, as to what your's or Esslinger's engine are going to cost?
Now granted, I understand your's maybe still in development, that's fine, but Esslinger's is apparently ready as they're asking folks to call for pricing... Why can't that be made available to the public to counteract the claims of how much you think we're going to spend on stock engines???

Not at all, I completely agree. Feel free to ask some that know me how much I agree with this... In fact, that feeling completely changed what my Summer plans are.
The only other thought that I have on this, is maybe they (the sanctioning bodies) are keeping quiet on what and how they're going to tech, so that folks can't already know what to fudge on to get through tech?... Again, just a thought, I truly don't know what they have in mind, but I am sure it will be a work in progress that will need some patience from all involved.

I am not angry at them for doing anything. I am just trying to paint the full picture to counter all the negatives about stock D2 that come from you and your family, with a little of what has been going on from the "stock" side.
I have nothing to sell, I have nothing to gain except for the future midget racing as my opinion sees it should go. That opinion is obviously different from you, but I'am not on here saying things like "As far as giving this D-2 thing “a chance to work itself out,” I simply pointed out SOME of the fallacies of the ideas people are posting on..". I believe there are a lot of "fallacies" on what your selling, but that doesn't need to be constantly brought to the top of this message board.... Or as I put another way, wish would just stop.
How do you know our "fallacies" are not going to work? Know more than I know if your deal is going to work? As stated, the racers will decide as time goes by. But bashing one or the other is senseless, and does nothing but hurt the whole thing... You and Us!
Run your mousetrap, we'll run ours, it will all come out in the wash, not on social media.

IF, and I repeat IF, I know who you are speaking of, he runs an Electromotive Tec-S.... And that comes complete nowhere near $6,000.
