The New Zealand Car didn't run because we tried to learn and advance our knowledge, because we didn't built the same car as last year, because we were sick of the same sh*t designs, the same look, the 1950's technology and design philosophies.
We wanted to build a race car and we did.
We tried something different and for that we get rung out by so called judges. I for one will not be sad to see some of them leave. If this sport is to move forward it will take new ideas and more failures. When you have your young team mates called over and told that the design is pointless and "stupid" and that you should build a car like ... (US team), you wonder in the 2007 rules will you'll get a parts list, cut list and plans of the car you should build?
I will look forward to seeing our 2006 team shutting the judges up.
Pat thanks for your incite but we fixed the noise and failed on a slipping clutch cable.
I will not ague this anymore. This is a post for the comp and I will not hijack it.
On a lighter note you can at least look forward to Moke TV 2005
