The SICN04 race magnet is now permitted in LMP class. Magnet must be placed in a stock position.
Stock position where? in the front of the motor? or in the back of the motor? because some of these cars come with the motor brace allowing magnets to be in front or behind the motor.
I'm sure that either position will be fine. The Scaley Trans-Am cars have 3 or 4 magnet positions and nobody seems to worry about that for American Muscle.

Umm...wait a second. You're doing a flip-flop, Van.
Lemme get this straight. You're now saying that the magnet does not have to be in the stock position. Am I understanding this correctly? This would now constitute two concessions made for the Slot-it runners.
This is only my interpretation...based on what goes on in American Muscle. The Scaley T/A cars have 4 mag positions in stock form, any one of which can be used. Why would LMP be different in this regard? The more recent stock Slot.it motor pods have 2 mag positions.
Take it up with Ernie if you have an issue with this. Personally, I'm happy to see a more varied grid for a change.
