Gee Bill, how did you get any Solo Vee guy to admit he has 115 HP let alone
123 HP?
They may actually have the HP, but getting them to own up to it is another
thing :->

This info is mainly for autocrossers, so bear with me.
Here are some figures I have been playing with, since I am an
autocrosser with a Kawi car.
750 lbs/ 75hp (Kawi)= 10 lbs/hp
1000 lbs/115hp (solo vee)= 8.7 lbs/hp
800 lbs/95 hp (rotax) = 8.4 lbs/hp
1000 lbs/ 123 hp (local guys solo vee)=8.1 lbs/hp
So now, for a rotax car to have my lb/hp ratio, it would have to weigh
950lbs?
Scca allows the Kawi powered cars to weigh 50lbs less than a Rotax car.
To have parity, My car with driver would need to weigh 637 lbs. Since I
weigh 200, that would be a 437 lb red devil.
Am I missing something here folks? If this is all true and accurate,
then I feel good about getting my ass kicked constantly by Rotaxes and
solo vees.
