"Change is good", well yes sometimes it is, but not always.
I applaud the SCTA rules and its rules committee for being forward thinking, especially when it comes to rules regarding safety.
Some of you who know my history might want to dispute that statement, but in reality, I do not oppose rule change, only rule change when the fix hasn't been identified or been established.
Keeping in mind that any SCTA club member can initiate a rule change which, for better or worse, can be greatly influenced through "good old boy" relationships, I still favor how the rules are and can be changed.
The majority of voting club members, along with the appointed rules committee are amongst the most active and experienced members of our racing fraternity, and are out to try and keep our sport thriving, while keeping us safe at the same time.
I don't pretend to know the what if's or what not's of the "wing rule", but as I posted on this site several months ago, "who better to make up a rule to make Comp Coupe safer than the entrants who race in that class". God knows that if there is any class that needs help in safety, it is the comp coupe class.
I am sure that as with any political discourse, most of the people affected were too f--king lazy to offer any help with making the suggested new rule.
The good thing about our rule process is that they can now kick the can, bitch about what is, and hopefully make the rule better.
