Please read post #102 and tell us what part of my history lesson is incorrect. I have been actively involved in the class since your "11 years ago" observation. My recollection is that racers were revving their engines to 7K long before that. I also recall that the FIT engines were over-restricted for the first few years, while the BOP was established in the FRP events. The kents had a huge advantage for the first few years before the FRP established BOP was applied. I believe you are familiar with RCFFS where kents and Hondas compete, generally in older cars run by family teams. The "Big Man" in the kent-powered Zink seems to win all the races. When you eliminate the new cars and the Pro teams, there does not seem to be a parity problem. One might argue the parity problem was reversed. Why can one 40+ year old Zink consistantly beat the FIT-powered Crossles and Van Deimens, but the other Zinks cannot?
I left the class in 1991 because costs were out of control. I came back when the FIT was introduced, because I believe it lowered costs. It is still stupid expensive, but that has nothing to do with Honda.
