IF AT SOMETIME you have considered extending your AMA gas involvement to include FAI power, but for all the usual reasons you have balked at the prospect, then quite possibly what follows may be of special interest. Let's examine a few of those usual reasons for not getting involved, and see how much of the popular mythology we can dispell. The complaint I hear most often of late, has to do with the recent reduction of the FAI engine run to seven seconds. Apparently there are those that feel the required time, effort, and expense can't be justified by so brief an engine run, and the resultant difficulty in achieving a max. The error made here is in judging FAI power by AMA gas standards. AMA gas and FAI power are very different events, each stressing different parameters of performance, and as such there is no legitimate basis of direct comparison.
