If you want to see why the other guy is faster just clock his time in the turn that is usually where he makes his time. Most of this cheating people see is usually all in "The set up of the car" and drivers ability to stay hooked up.
Any time you make a motor rule it is probably going cost some one more money. Probably the best motor rule is stock apearing on the outside.
We need to spend more time helping the new guy's out and getting them up to speed more quickly. No body wants to be an also ran.
"We" keep on racing because we enjoy it and we know we can run up front at any given race. If a new racer doesn't see some success they usually quit and we lost another racer.
Keep the rules simple, don't try to keep the rich guy out, and help the newer people along the best you can. If you want to handicap do it with weight and by all means "HAVE FUN"
I could not agree more, in fact this should be the case for ALL open wheel racing.
