Grant,
Add a rapier and black eye mask and you have the makings of a "B" movie remake. (B is for "Bad" or "Blokart"—your choice)

As for the world of blokart, I am as much a tinkerer as anyone as I believe innovation is the life blood for a good idea to keep moving forward. And I believe blokart has and continues to do that. I think that is a GOOD thing. For every 10 ideas MAYBE ONE will actually be useful.

The issue of course is not the equipment itself, because as we go down the road, we are all going to end up at the same place anyway as far as hardware is concerned. That is the essence of one design. However, for one design to actually work, the people involved not only must have a CLEAR understanding of the criteria but that understanding must MATCH the understanding of everyone else. (or at least come real close) So it matters little what the criteria is, but more important that we are on the SAME PAGE.

Keep at it, the committee is on the right path.

Enough of my blah, blah, blah, I'm going B-karting.

Pray for smooth ice!
