PP Outlaw much better you and Bill and Jerry and the other race directors to sit around and read all of this bull, then cull out the good from the bad and make the rules according to what you see as fair and good for the sport. I can still remember going to "CLUB" meetings and hearing every body trying to get the rules so that the rules favored them. I can still see this little 90pound driver standing up and wanting not to raise the weight rule. Then the alky deal, and what about electronic injection we could never go to that just too expensive.

Without a doubt rules are much better left to one person with the desire to make things better for everyone. Usually my questions will be just to keep you guys thinking and bringing some things to light that you may not see by being up so close. I'm trying to be a friend of the court.

I have an ultrasonic thickness gauge. I have left it home in the past because I didn't want to stir things up. The best way to add weight to a car is with the proper thicknes tubing. You can get these things on Ebay for couple hundred bucks now. I loaned it to a friend for a open wheel modified race 2 years ago and after checking several cars the race director told him to put the darned thing up. Seems like most of the cars used too thin tubing in the roll bar and he wouldn't be able to have a race because he would DQ most of his racers.
