and that is exactly what is wrong with our current rules....
too many loop holes when it comes to lightening. Only 20 points to strip your interior.... no padding, no door panels, no back pad, no carpet...20 points to do what you folks did,,,,,20 points. there needs to be more granularity with respect removing weight, DOT R tires, and a few other items. 100WR RA1s should not get the same points as 710s. removing your windshield and or the entire windshield frame should be points....but it isn't right now. It helps when you (royal you) has a major part in writing the new rules....doesn't it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

What about stiffening, last year my class it was +1 now +3, this is NASA TT/x but the system works the same, just closer point spreads. But I used the most gray area in stiffening. Which continues on to this day. I have to carry 2150 lbs., but I can weigh in at that weight so the goal for me is use it the best I can. Lower it, replace it with stiffening, or other beneficial parts. I am tearing through the final rules today, and we will find the Grays and exploit them. I push the limits everywhere, not just in racing. Cheat no, I take all my points, but I use them to the best of their specific abilities. So stiffening for 1+ lead to rear arm pickup stiffening, sway bar reinforcements. And an egmann kit, now a roll bar with a few well placed added bars to make the chassis that much better with out breaking the rules and taking more points. I also max my points out for my class. If you going to run run hard, run long, and don't leave anything behind. |
