I have a question on the two classes...A vs AA   First is what class
does Herbert run in? AAAA/FS or AA/FS or ??????/????  he has 4 engines 
I did not think there was an upper limit on an 'A' class car.. Thought
it went from around 500 inches to whatever.. What class would a 1200
cu/in aircraft engine run in ? A or AA or AAA ? help me with the math
here if you have a minute..... or 6 1200 inchers.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
