Andy,
I think your statement there could be interpretted a couple of ways. If you're suggesting that there are loads of sponsored club drivers at Batley who have mega speed because of it I think you're mistaken.
E.g. Rich Lowe isn't sponsored for cells or motors, Tom ran customer stuff, I actually gave up my cells/motor deal last year as it was uncompetetive comparred to off the shelf stuff.
The common thing between the three of is is that we prepare and look after stuff really well to make the most of it, it's not special stuff. I actually currently have only 1 motor (off the shelf), and one spare arm of a different wind and have done since the Euros. This is because I'm hoping to go brushless in due time. However I will miss the fact though that through good motor maintenance etc I could draw an advantage but a completely fair one! That said, it is easily outweighed by the extra time I'll have at meetings to talk random shite with my mates!
