I gotta say I miss the Centurion's relentless tearing up of all challengers in the economy contests. It speaks volumes for the simple, effective formula of less mass + less frontal area + low(ish) drag = crazy good mileage. When all this is over I look forward to seeing Kubota Racing dominating the top of the leaderboard while everyone else is battling for a distant second.

Hello elhigh!
I never really went anywhere - I lurk. This has given me time to get a few other projects of interest done. During my exile, I've managed to start a local newsletter called "

Still waiting for lithium batteries to take another leap so the electric "CenturIon" can be put into service. In the meantime, I'll find lots more to do!!! Between the electric that is in waiting, and Mr. Riley's original prototype, the Centurion story isn't over yet!!
