2) I have had a team say they are cooking their motors, and i've had one say it's fine. If I fix the gearing and everyone burns out their motors then who will be responsible? Me. therefore it's going to be open gearing and the cooling you have put in will still give you an advantage as you can run at whatever ratio you want without risking your motor.
3) I bought 15 pinions that might no longer be needed :-(
So advantage still to you :-). Those that haven't looked at cooling will always have to factor in a compromise of speed and heat, or slow and cool.

Hey John,
Sure, I understand - sorry, it was not meant as critiscism. I feel that as most teams probably havent even run the cars in race trim around the Ardent circuit layout anyway we were being a bit premature about changing the gearing rule.
But I understand that you guys can't have an endless supply of motors on tap and nobody wants to be swapping them out every hour anyway, so I can see where you're coming from. Doesnt change what will be a great event, really looking forward to Saturday.
Thanks for your efforts thus far!
