John, here in a nutshell is what I am saying.
Every member of the SCTA either recieved or had available to him or her the proposed new rules before they were voted on.
If anyone had a bitch, then they should have got off there butt and made some noise about it.
As you should recall, thanks to input from Me, yourself and a few others, we got the lateral restraint rule reduced by two inches after the rule was written.
That was a lucky break for all of us.
I just don't think that we should have a bitch about any rule after it is written, unless it is something blatenly in error or misguided. If thats the case, then the proper people on the rules committee should be informed as was done with the lateral helmet restraint.
To those who are thinking about building or entering a car in comp coupe I would say: Here are the current rules and if you don't like them, wait two years and get the rule changed.
There is nothing that says anyone in the class has to run a wing at all.
It is simply a rule written by folks who are trying to deal with how to prevent any more tragic blow overs and make the class safer for all........... Bob
