But you do raise a good point about the racing class. If Horizon/Evolution means to end the 35's, then the class will have to adapt. It was probably going to anyway as it progressed. Maybe they finally will allow an open (or limited) class.

The specs for the new 40 do look sexy though, with the engine weighing in at less weight than 35 and the canted plug design. But another $50.00 for basically the same design is kind of goofy. Same thing happened with the 26GT2 though when it morphed into the 26GX.
