Had a great weekend in Zion, Ill at the Land of Lincoln Stabil Lawn and Garden National Points race. Once again the Opposed was strong. My chasis let me down, however and Dr Art Neavil, one of the greatest Men on the face of the earth, let me drive his Briggs OHV powered C/P to a 2nd place finish. What a ride that was, after a bad start I tore through the feild from worst to beating on first, in the end Nate Mesalk got the better of me and took the checkered. nate is a good friend and a great driver I was happy to see him win it! I wanted to clear some apparent confusion. More and more often now I get comments about how "great" I think my engine is. I do think my little Oppy is a power house, but I know its not the baddest thing on the turf. Since adding the Isky cam it is getting close though! I love the Opposed twins and I think If anyone ever completely built one they wold be pretty un-beatable. The OHV singles are good engines too, and can be built into great engines, I know this as I have been beat by alot of them! I have my reasons why I prefer the Opposed Twins but that doesn't mean I think they are the only viable race engine for the class. Bot configurations of engines in the C/P class can win races if built right, put on a winning chassis with a winning driver. Build you a good chassis and the best engine you can and lets swap dirt and quit worrying about who thinks they got what, we have a flag that tells us about that!
