WARNING .. SCCA RANT ALERT!
And, of course when it comes to mufflers, keep in mind that our
incredibly inept SEB has still not approved an exhaust length past the
rear axle that would include any kind of standard stinger or other
muffler. This has only been an issue since 2002! What is that, 4
years???? So if you're going to run any normal stinger/muffler keep in
mind that you're illegal, and if past penalties are an indication you
will be unceremoniously bounced from the event .. no second chances.
Just go home.
The SEB(solo events board) knows we REALLY use those mufflers for ..
more horsepower! Yeah, they got it all figured out. How pathetic, how
incredibly inept. But then I guess that club racing hasn't tackled this
thorny issue either. I'm done now.

Jay that would be ok, but most of us in the real areas (New England)
that are currently having the biggest noise problems still would like
to see a 4stroke sled engine with CVT. Also, I thought it was
mentioned that someone, maybe Aeen was working on a solution to
keeping the noise down without having to ad a big car muffler to our
cars. A small Dynamax seems to work on the newer 493 engine much
better than the combination of my Flowmaster and Aeen singer on my
494! I don't know if Aeen has seen pictures of my setup, but it sure
is fugly!

Subject: [F500] engines
I am starting this thread to simply start a dialog on the subject of
alternative drive trains, so do not send the assassins.
I am of the opinion that we need a 4 stroke engine with a conventional
transmission for our class to survive. I would be happy with a 2 stroke
with a transmission but I do not think there is a production engine
available.
I am not saying that we eliminate the 500cc w/CVT combination, but
only that
we have a competitive alternative engine that has a conventional 6 speed
transmission.
I say this because we need to generate lots of new interest in F500
or we
have a good chance of losing our national status in a few years.
Thanks ... Jay Novak
