Thanks Jack, you actually convinced me to try harder & I also think it can be a very viable cost effective alternative engine.
Thanks ...

Jay's cost facts are consistent with the facts assembled for me. I believe that this F500 spec based car is the only way that we can assure the continued availability of new $20,000 to $25,000 formula cars. I believe we can make $20,000 this year. As I think you already know, the only other spec change I would make is a spec shock.

So..in short...I speak for them in saying we prefer you to continue this worthwhile venture. What I don't understand is...wouldn't all the ones against it prefer to sit back and say "I told you so" once you have completed your work rather than put forth all the reasons why it can't be done before it's even been tried! Especially since you are the one who is putting forth the time and financial resources to do so! Wouldn't that be more satisfying? Hmmmmm...I wonder what will happen if you're dead on...I'm happy to wait and see what your findings are. Keep up the good work. The goal here is to investigate the viability of an "ALTERNATIVE" to a snowmobile engine & CVT. Definition = a possible or remaining course or choice. (Emphasis on choice).
