[TQ97]

First of all, TQs in the Northeast (which to my knowledge are all pavement) and apparently a few that they have in Florida are run this way. California isn't, never has been, nor has Indiana.

As for your time and money, I wouldn't of either, and knowing the rules before hand, and looking at my car at Shelbyville and seeing how it could be done legally, I don't understand why you did it that way anyways. Your car didn't just become illegal, it was never legal per the MTQRL rulebook. You can still be legal, just cut your tranny off and hook the motor up through the driveline like every other TQ in the MTQRL and come race. I wasn't at Greensburg, and admittedly I was very vocal at Lawrenceburg, because my team took the time to do our R and D through the rulebook. And I wasn't about to let our time and money be wasted without speaking my concerns. Trust me, I would love to be able to shift my motor, but I want a traditonal TQ, not a mini sprint. If all of this makes me a jerk, so be it, it's nothing personal on my end.
