Hi
Edo, the timing is the issue! While some tracks had some sort of entry level racing, often called group 12 indicating that the total cost of the car could not exceed 12 bucks, most racing was unlimited. Dynamic inlines except in the hands of Jack Garcia(memory?) wouldn't make it above the D main in any venue I saw. Nor would a scratchbuild with a GE in it. And in that simple "kids RTR" class, dynamics with their own supplied hotter 16ds were faster being lower and lighter. Basically, when my friend runs his cars that I set up and maintain, he runs them against 65 period cars.
Things were changing THAT fast. It wasn't that the cars weren't good, it was that they were "late".

I should have made my GE/ scratchbuild look like the moon buggy (that was a few years later). It ran just like the moon buggy---SLOW motion
