Well Dennis I've certainly read my share of Mini 500 stories over the
years.

As a lurker I can't make any comments because I like many have no
direct knowledge of the facts or issues regarding the history of RCI.

BUT ----- I will give you full credit for coming into this newsgroup
numerous time and presenting your point of view good bad or indifferent
in a rationale and logical manner, devoid of rants and cursing.

Hindsight being 20/20 vision I'm sure that if you had to do it over
again you would have done many things different.

Being a curious person I'd like two ask a few questions.

Since a lot of these machines suffered from engine failure regardles
of how they were supposed to be set up or run, what did the engine
manufacture say, or what was their position on these failure.

And why didn't you change engines to either a different manufacturer or
a higher horsepower. I'm not trying to put you on the spot because I
know there was a lot of controversy regarding the engines being used
and how they were being run at high rpm.

And if you don't mind..... what are you personally doing these days.

Greeter at Wal Mart, growing flowers at a greenhouse, running a
manufacturing plant, retired.....??????

I'm curious as you can see.
