Myself I like the part that starts out "With much thought and deliberation", umm wasn't that what you did when you decided to BAN aluminum motors? I'm sure there isn't very many people, if any, that would run an aluminum motor for only $600 to win. You need to stay with the rules you orginally set if you're truly serious about a low-cost series. Like the man said about the pig, there ain't enough perfume to make this porker come out smelling good........
