If I had a Kawi on a Road Race set-up and I could make such adjustments to
keep-up with the Rotax and add to the F500 numbers, I WOULD MAKE THEM AND GO
ROAD RACING!
. . . thus immediately challenging the SCCA rules that restrict it ON THE
KAWI.
. . . if it allows the Kawi's to be competitive and have fun, but not beat
the Rotax's, then where's the harm and why would the SCCA or F500
competitors have reason to take any action other than rewriting the GCR to
allow it?
Furthermore, being a Rotax Road Racer, if a fellow competitor showed up with
a tweaked Kawi and gave a good run/race, I'd be the first to support this
driver and his right to race with the local and national SCCA. I know down
here in TX, if the fellow competitors spoke to the steward and said we
support our Kawi driver and his set-up, then that would be that.
. . . I know the argument against such an action would be the "possibility"
of the "super-Kawi".
But I think that's a different thing than being suggested here. So, the
question is . . .would this REALLY get many Kawi RR cars onto the tracks?

A good book for you to get and read in whatever spare time you have is
Two Stroke Performance Tuning by A. Graham Bell
(since he is UK guy I wonder if he isn't related to the Scot Alexander
Graham Bell who invented something..)
I have read this book twice now and particular chapters 5-6x. It does
mention timing specifically.
Again reading this book I wonder why we are stuck with these stupid engine
mod rules. If we could modify the Kawi to get the same HP as the Rotax why
not? Then we all can run at the same weight and it might bring some Hangar
Queens out of the garage.

You could spend a LOT of time playing with a dyno trying to chase
the variables.
I gotta learn to drive before that would be of any use to me. 8-)
Thanks for the tips Dave!
