Totally agree with this, the best fun to be had is good and clean racing, when you get in a heat with one or two others of very similar level and have some close racing, switching positions with none or very slight contact (elbow in the ribs or finger in the eye works best!
)
I take the point about costs not being really any less now and the one about 'selected' 27t in the old days. In indoor buggy racing it made very little difference, but in outdoor it was noticeable.
