It didn't appear that the mystery man came by the booth, but I was not there at all times, the other guys didn't seem to think he did though. Honestly, he had some good questions, and I remain completely confident that if he were truly interested in the design, and asked the same questions in person, he'd be totally satisfied with the answers. And if not, well, we'd have (even more) work to do. Without a doubt, there were some really knowledgable folks that came by that had similar types of questions, we took it all in, and are going to make some changes as a result. Good ideas come from everyone, I have learned this so many times, and we certainly don't know it "all." What we "do" know, however, we are very confident in.
Next steps are creation of more platforms, and increasing our basis with more data. Specific, relevant, and documented. There is so much more to real product development than slapping together a design, and sending it to market, at least if it is done correctly.
So, what percentage of folks with interest in our product "need" tailpipes? We are already working on solutions, and will have one very soon, but this is an area that we might have been a little bold on in the early assumptions (i.e. thinking folks woudn't care if they wanted the best handling solution). Not a big deal in that we will solve the issue, but it is a curious question.
