Same goes for Yamaha, anything with a YEC part number is factory racing stuff, and expensive. JMHO, but if it is a problem, I think I'd allow the dry sump system, not make it manditory, but not dis-allow it either. Some guys may be able to do it themselves, and save more money yet, and some may not know that it could be the answer to a load of broken motors, and keep them running the series. Bob

The "Kawasaki Racing" head gasket is much cheaper than the stock head gasket and they give you a choice of thickness also.

I was refering to the "hard parts" like cams, $1800.00 ea, titainium rods, "$unobtainium", but available, not sure the average Joe could buy them, but they are available if you know the right people, and of course, money talks, not very loud, but it does. I know of some right now, from a Yamaha race Team, that are spares, but I don't need, or want them, I don't need them, I've yet had any trouble with what came used in a bike motor. Bob

The kaw race cam is more like $180.00 but All it is is a stock cam that flunked ISO9000 test.

cams can't flunk ISO 9000

Ok----- they was a little too fat in the flanks. Probably worn grinding wheel.

Had Kaw let them go would Kaw have flunked the ISO9000 certification? Them guys that use a software program name for a handle are hard to get over on.

ISO 9000 certification doesn't guaranty 100% quality. We have a >1% reject rate and are still ISO certified.

When I was doing it Draftsmen set on tall stools and machinist counted numbers on a dial.

I guess it is for the better good but it sure takes a lot of extra people to do a job. But then I never seen a machinist move his hands that fast either.

I was just corresponding with a guy, and he said he was getting rid of his motorcycle engine and switching to an automotive type. He said he races with the "IMRA" Illinois Midget Racing Association. So I go to their website http://imraracing.com/ . They been steeling my ideas all along. They are like that perfect country western song. They add just about enough rules for anyone wanting to race small midget size race cars on the cheap to do so, and enjoy themselves in the process.

A breath of fresh air in a smoke filled room.

I hope they do well, Wish they weren't so far away from us.
