Opinion froma Solo Vee driver....

I believe that the interest in AM is lowered due to the karts.  Why put
so much engineering and money in a car, and be beat by a kid in a
Kart??  The glory of having fastest car is gone....so my make the

what is different from BM

Larry #66 solo vee and #6 real 1200 soloing vee(which has no competitive
place to run)
