I would imagine when you say that F500 mods have already begun you mean
the requirement that F500s use a 34mm carburetor. That's the only GCR
change and that was done when the class was formed. This change was
mandated by the SEB because they THOUGHT(sorry 'bout the caps) it would
slow the F500s relative to the F440s. No one ever did testing at that
time to prove that theory, they just went ahead and did it. Sound
familiar?
QRE has done the testing since and I'll leave it at that!
I understand your thoughts on returning to DMod. At the moment, I can't
think of an argument to keep you here if that's really what you want to
do. I am open to discussion(except as noted in my other posts) on your
situation whichever direction you choose.
