Don,

We prefer that the engines be submitted by the primary supplier so we can work with them directly, as we did with Horizon on the Evo .40. This also ensures that they are involved from a supply standpoint. The supply problem you mentioned is the first red flag for the GMS. That said, as long as they are shipped from the primary supplier, we could consider them. Parts supply is another issue. TT has been pretty good about that too. It ALL has to be considered.

There are LOTS of benefits of having one "official" engine defined and letting CD's at local events make adjustments for their area or race by letting the newcomer run the Evo, or ST40 that he happens to have. We have to be VERY careful adjusting the National rules for local needs.
