List, if anyone considered building a speed trials car with one of these
high-performance two strokes, whether GP motorcycle or snowmobile, I
imagine the best choice would be a water-cooled unit.  The air-cooled GP
motorcycle two-stroke engines of earlier days were very powerful, but
prone to overheating and seizure under endurance (long-distance)
conditions.  So the factories moved on to water-cooled.  To my mind the
Long Course at Bonneville is something of an "endurance" situation.
