Mr. Ratliff:
Please -- settle down a bit. While we encourage one and all to post on this forum, your dictum that we'll have to ban this vehicle or that based on some point of design -- is fine, within reason -- but should be directed at those who could possibly enact a ban. I hope you'd agree that the propulsion added by the exhaust is relatively small (compared to that from the driven wheels). If not they vehicles would fall under the definition of thrust-powered vehicles and would already be banned, wouldn't they?
I look forward to seeing more of your posts, but sure do hope they are a little more tactful when suggesting that the sanctioning organizations do some particular thing. Ideas and discussions are fine -- dictums are more than we need here. Thanks.
