I have enjoyed reading this topic so far, even with all it's ups and downs. Don even inspired me to go back to midgetmadness and try to find one of the old weight rule discussion topics i wrote about a few years back. I got what i thought of as a typical message board response, some well thought out, some not, some serious, some funny, but i guess that is what message boards are all about. The bottom line is it got other people thinking and discussing something i believed in. That is what i really enjoy about Don's topics, whether you argee or not, they make you think about the issues facing in sport we all love.
For those who are interested here is the the link to one of the old weight rule topics and it's responses. When i get some more time i'll see if I can find any others.

Basically to simplify things and put it in anexample that IOW member can relate to, it says that it would be a shame to see Shane Cottle disqualified for winning a midget race in a car that weighed 895, and the win given to second place driver Chad Boat in a car that that weighted 901. Especially when it is one of the easiest issues to fix.
