Matters not if Stu owned one or not....I still heard that phrase from Stu
first.
And it appears to be 100% true regardless of who orginated the phrase.

Chuck,
Stu never ran a Kawi or an AMW. He had a Chaparral in an early Red Devil
and
was only competing in Solo.
Just before the introduction of the Rotax, Q with Stu's assistance, figured
out how to tune the AMW to last a race. That doesn't mean QRE liked running
them, just that QRE could make them last a race. The Rotax was always a
better upgrade option then the AMW.
Had AMW got with the program and adhered to the SCCA notification
requirements on running changes, made those changes quicker, and had better
quality control for those changes, perhaps just perhaps, the AMW would
still
be around today.... then maybe not :-).

Dave, in spite of all its faults, it still was considered the "big block"
chevy replacement in its day for the small block Kaw. I heard that phrase
first from Stu Kessenbaum(sp?). ,who I believe used to run out of
Quadrinini's shop. So he probably had a sharp running Kaw to compare it
to.
