What size engine for the online/Youtube EC?
That can be an issue for sure. RAMM didn’t set a date or anything.
I'm sure all will be revealed in good time. Entrants may have differing opinions on what they prefer.
Pleasing everyone is never easy
Agreed! LMAO. We may or be rocket scientist smart but that’s a no brainer.
Understandably. I read rules and laws and etc… all the time and I can come up with a bus so of questions. See loop holes, etc….
I think at this early stages the rules can still potentially be altered as needed If something relevant is brought to attention.
This is why i brought up clarification on things like dry sumps, fabricated intakes and welded ports etc.
Some people live for exploiting loopholes, and There's always potential for some hotdog to show up with something what obviously wasn't intended and say "whaddaya mean i can't run parts developed by NASA? Show me where it says I CAN'T?" Or something to that effect
Perhaps it's the smallest of small risks, but we just don't need that potential drama and it's fairly easily avoidable with a little careful wording.
I see your point and I think this was brought up.
I’m not pursuing it.
I also happen to have W2’s that I could use. Honestly speaking, after the competition, the aluminum heads will eventually get removed in favor of the W2.
Everyone. If a fella works at a shop, I don’t see an issue since there’s no prize money involved. The amount of tricks a professional engine builder has over a regular guy like us or even more so, a rookie builder is probably and could be an unfair advantage. But that doesn’t bother me since - again - there’s no money involved.
Sharing details of the build would be great for all.
Yep, this is what I love about it.
the rules seem to encourage creativity in finding a few extra ponies through putting in the work rather than the cash. And keeping it "no prize" encourages participation even for just the keen hobbyist. Participation is it's own reward.
Even if I only spectate, I always hope to learn something about how/what makes power from observing those with far more experience and knowledge than myself.
No issue there.
I thought so. One of our members Mderoy runs 11’s in his …. A Dart I think it is. I’m pretty sure it’s a Dart. I gotta catch up with him soon anyway.
