hopefully with the name calling behind us, we can all get back to spirited discussion and debate of the "latest gift" from Topeka!

parse it as you will, I stand by the ideas included in the post above. given the spirited name of the discussion, 100% agreement wasn't expected and I'm clearly not the only one "guilty" of posting minority views!! taxation without representation is wrong and completely unacceptable. it is a statement of fact and not political commentary that everyone running a Kent was forced to buy +0.005" pistons and have their engines rebuilt to keep up. performance creep, in any amount greater than zero, is not good for the class and in this case has the potential to be extremely divisive (ie: restrictor size). I was against the rule change to allow Kents +0.005" pistons to NO avail and I'm against the rule change to allow the alternate engine over size pistons; extremely bad policy in my opinion!! decision making not driven by structured process AND objectively verifiable data (ie: not opinions) is doomed to produce poor results in quantity!
