I'm not. As with anything, change is almost always accompanied with negativity. Lots of people feel that changes are usually unnecessary.
True, dat!

I'm amazed how many s2ki'ers are expressing opinion (almost entirely negative) at the introduction of the new Club Racer model.
I'm not surprised after seeing the thing.

I'm saying the design of the CR is my last straw. We need things bigger, heavier, and just plain "more" in the face of a society that is being cowardly and reluctantly facing it's responsibilities.

I'm getting a '72 Caddy Brougham. . . screw the rest of you!

I'm sure most of the "performance enhancement" of the CR is due to the tires.

They are claiming 2s faster around their Test track.

I'm willing to wager a nickel the front splitter & dive planes are more efficient than any of the aftermarket ones
