<DIV>-------------- Original message -------------- <BR><BR>> I can see that. I just fail to see how it makes any difference what they are <BR>> running. Didn't an OS 140RX win Masters last year? Isn't that the class that <BR>> MOST of us fly? (not me, but the majority). So why does it matter in the <BR>> least what the "top" FAI guys fly? It wins on Sunday, it sells on Monday. <BR>> Dale Jr has a pretty awesome engine in his Chevy too, but that doesn't mean <BR>> I want it in mine. <BR>> <BR>> Just a thought. <BR>> -Mike <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Atwood, Mark" <ATWOODM@PARAGON-INC.COM><BR>> To: <DISCUSSION@NSRCA.ORG><BR>> Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 10:39 AM <BR>> Subject: RE: Re: YS Longevity and Fuel $$$ Part 2 <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Probably any that would want to be....
