DAYTON IT IS

I could bring my junk out for a spin!  Paul, At the Nats they fly Dayton rules which is more of a vintage type event. No modern .28's etc which were leading to 120 mph.

Not a bad thing but there are not enough 20 year old pilots around to support it.  As usual it pretty much killed the BTR revival a few (20 ish) years ago. I could say lots more.......  TS

From what I recall, B Team Race wasn't all that popular to begin with, due the the mountain of rules.  Then in 1964, somebody got what was effectively a B Proto Speed to work and went about 130, thereby really killing the deal.  Henceforth, Rat took over.  Fewer rules & more power. 

Using a 29, which was a dying engine size, was a huge nail in the BTR Coffin. 40's were plentiful and faster.  So why knock yourself out looking for a 29 that would hot start?

F2C's, with readily available 2.5 cc engines have become the standard of the world, and quite rightly so.

I was given a BTR and I fixed it up ready to fly.  But then I found that it has been disallowed by the rule aimed at busting the "120 MPH" racers.  I would be surprised if this one does 90.  I looked re-engining it, but the mounts are too narrow for any 29 that fits the latest revised rule.
