So, I thought that I would share them with you all, and seek the thoughts and opinions of the peanut gallery.
All of the proposed rule changes can be found here :
Major rule changes for 2008
Items of note:
1. No cockpit adjustable shocks or bar stops...
"The only cockpit adjustable device allowed in 2008 will be a wing slider for the purpose of moving the top wing forward and backward only."
2. Harder tires...
"For the 410 class the right rear will be the sc 15 Hoosier or harder. On three pre-selected nights we will run the sc 25 on the right rear. The left rear will be the D 12 or harder. No RD 12s allowed. Other left rears from different manufactures are allowed with prior approval."
3. Limitation on the size of injector stacks...
"2009 proprosed rules will include a maximum 2 5/8" injector size restriction for the 410 class."
So, what do you think? Are these steps in the right direction?

If they are indeed "proposed" rules, I assume they will be seeking input from the teams that race there before they are implemented. Thats a good thing as opposed to just saying, "Here you go, these are your rules, like it or not."
