My concern is how the BMW has some similar characteristics to the zx12 (lower availability and higher horsepower). When the zx12 reigned supreme, the availability started declining and the prices increased, & we all know it ultimately started doing more harm than good. We don’t know if the BMW will go down that path, but it is safer to err on the side of caution for now while nobody has a BMW yet. Keep in mind, clubs can always legalize the BMW later on at any point in time, but once you allow it, there’s basically no going back.

Ok DAD take it away….

"BANG"

I truthfully believe the BMW is not heavy enough to be a very good "Boat Anchor"

We have been told by competent authority that the Dwarfs & Lites have canned the late models already. Now if we can get them sports racers to do the same thing we are in the drivers seat. I foresee a BMW in every mini sprint race car out there. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP That is!! except for mine.

Why would anybody want to go "back"-- wards??
