If the technology is better than a piston engine whats that got to do
with anything???? do we have a handicap for a twin cam engine ?? How
about a hemi handicap how would that go over.. i think everyone with  a
hemi has to go up 2 classes.LOL hey time marches on things get better..
Look at the message i sent again and tell me if you see the logic in it
vs a two stroke piston engine..
