Agree completely skull, lots of great builders in Australia that know how to build up great motors.
Why send your parts to the u.s. to be rebuilt..? Crazy, but people believe the propaganda and think it's the place to get the world's best....?
I'm sure u.s. based builders do a good and thorough job and a lot of todays builders still had and have great flat track results, but to wipe the floor with everyone else to proclaim to be the world's best..?
Not trying to start something here but look at what others have done - Jerry Heiden, what about the French and Belgian sidecarcross builders with their 1000cc xs motors. Our own Matt Moloney and his sidecar motors.
