Here's my final word on this, Jerry. I cited the page in sprint Car mag, a article by Mike O'Leary who writes pretty good stuff IMO. It's on page 16. I would assume that he talked to several people including Brad Kuhn who is also cited in the article. He certainly did more research than I did. I went to the USAC web site to find the rule. It's not published.

From Mr. O"Leary's words: "However, opinions vary when discussing this new program." So obviuosly not everybody agrees with you and I'm sure many do.

My opening post had a disclaimer that I didn't know a lot about the new rule and I asked for clarification. I have no dog is this fight. Several people have calmly published on this thrread the clarifications. some resorted to the usual mud throwing and personal attacks.

I think the issue has been resolved. How the rule plays out will be monitored I'm sure.
