Why BoyGoFast Dropped Out Of the Market

Will this affect the way I build 4-strokes in the future? Girlgofast (luck yearly byrd) took over boygofast last I heard

MM in SLO? Reeeeeeally

I heard now they are making them in america

I have been e-mailing with Don about the new 4G 4-stroke transfer case design but 2-strokes came up and he mentioned BFG yesterday.

Apparently Boy Go Fast had over 2,000 engine kits seized at the dock.
The EPA frowns on kits like that.
Even at $100 a box that is a $20K loss.

I don't know what happens to the load after that but one thing is for sure, they won't be for sale in the US.

Don Grube is still trying to get the EPA to OK the the 2014 Skyhawk kits from the Gas Engines factory in China.
I like those engines and kit parts despite the EPA requirements, parts can be changed ;-}

$100 x 2,000 is $200,000
More like $60 so $120,000

Check out my document, the 15,000 fee to him was most likely chicken feed compared to what he makes.

He didn't lose the kits, all he has to do is export them to a country other than Canada or Mexico, and show proof of exportation.

Doesn't mean he can give them back to the factory.
