The industrial based engine that has never been able to compete with purpose built race engines before, like you like to point out!! were at 400cc!! no where close to the max for that tip of setup in UAS cc to weight rules!!!!NO weight breaks after 430lbs or anything like that but on the other hand your setup is at its max in cc to weight just like the mighty Jawa's are with that weight break!! The #36 kart had something to say about corner speed giving him greater stirght away speed with just enuff power to get the job done..
With respect to this commentary . as you read through this thread. Youll notice the debate with Paul Doss. Paul has been on a never ending campaign to get rid of the MX based engines as well as ban the rotary engine. This has been his agenda for over 5 years. You may not be aware of that. My entire focus and point was to get Paul to admit displacement vs displacement the rotary engine and the 4 cycle engine are inferior engine designs to the 2 cycle. My commentary is soley based on the engineering principles not whether given the proper displacement they can or will compete.
The commentary is not meant to disrespect the industrial engine or its fans or builders.
The fact a industrial engine needs additional advantage to compete with its direct counterpart the race engineered 4 cycles is again a statement of fact. Its not acststement that says they cannot be made to win. That goes back to the teams owners drivers and builders. Innovation and know how.
