YS Longevity and Fuel $$$ Part 2

[Mike Hester]

I can see that. I just fail to see how it makes any difference what they are
running. Didn't an OS 140RX win Masters last year? Isn't that the class that
MOST of us fly? (not me, but the majority). So why does it matter in the
least what the "top" FAI guys fly? It wins on Sunday, it sells on Monday.
Dale Jr has a pretty awesome engine in his Chevy too, but that doesn't mean
I want it in mine.

Just a thought.

Probably any that would want to be....   But they weren't in the game 5
years ago...so "luring" someone away from YS is a different story.  If
you're getting your engines and service either free or discounted...and the
power is good...and you know how to make the engines run...there is little
motivation to abandon YS.

A thought just occurred to me, I hand't even payed it much attention until
just now.

How many "top level" FAI guys does OS sponsor? Just curious.
