Except for the snuffer tubes, all good examples. You could also have mentioned the square tops, which I think were developed out of class (remember the Tornado Sport effort Mitch and Herbie put together?). However I still think we loose big time on not having the olympians develop stuff for us. There will still be development, as both you and Jake have pointed out, but I think we will not see the same investment of time and money.


Mark, I also think the Tornado is dead as a dodo for the next years in the US and other places. My hope is that the class rules now will evolve a bit and we will see the class going in a different direction. You know what I am talking about..
