I firmly believe that the 20 degree was aimed at Jack's designs. I think there should be a grandfather clause unless a design is having problems with stability, i.e. more than one incident.  Look at the number of drivers in Nascar who were kill, before the Hans device was made mandatory.

Political correctness is a spineless character flaw that emboldens the enemies of freedom, tolerance and peace.

This ain't your mothers cookie cutter motor sport like NASCAR or NHRA.. +10

So, if I understand correctly in NASCAR if a driver was driving before the HNR device was available he could drive without one. That would be grandfathering in. We could easily then decide who the next to go would be: Bill Elliott, Bobby Labonte, etc.

And what would you do desoto man?


I would have an open line of comunication with the tech committee and get any issues they have with the car resolved.

I think the lines of communication have been very open. Good communication is no guaranty that the outcome will be what you wanted.
