No declaration necessary for new engines or modification to existing engines (and there have been many over the last twelve years, some increased power, some for longevity). If this were the case, we would have reams of paper on every little machining change we've done to the engines.

Want an engine? I have plenty. Want a new prop? I have those, too.

Well I figure since Scott posted those practice times on the NMPRA site, I'll post mine here,,, yes, I'll do both 9 and ten lap times just for you,,, just so you will know what you can expect to see on the time slips

Nope not going to Phx, I don t have my new engines yet plus my work kinda helped to kill the trip out also.

Don't you guys know that the course has been shortened? We now fly with the honor(?) system. If you say you didn't cut then that's good enough for us!

I'm pretty sure we proved the honor system is only good for the first 5 laps (maybe).

How can you keep this exciting for the paying spectators if nobody cuts to stay with the pack? Besides the old guy pylon judges aways cut us old guy racers some slack.

Bill,
Personally, if I get 4 points for each heat, I don't care what my times are

Gary,
Getting one point in the same heat with you is my challenge. Actually keeping my planes in the air when racing you and Jim should be the first. Those proud turds keep leaving some nasty "farts" that I keep flying through..... good times.

(2 QMs and a Q-500)

Wish I could be with you guys this year....turns out all the basin races are on the same dates as all my races.....bummer.

I'm assuming that there was a declaration sent to the AMA and the contest board chairman (Pete Reed) on the new engine design. There should also be an approval letter from the contest board chairman on file with the AMA and the NMPRA for publication. Anybody see these documents?

What do you mean exactly Bob, Adherence to the rule book? Please be serious!
