openwheel44 we are doing the best with what we got. About the only over the road outlaw I know is old Quantrill's raiders. Most of us don't have time or money to be chassen all over the country side, wish I did but then I would also own a Midget and wouldn't be wasting my time with these little old wanabe cars.

Most of these old rule books were put together with a lot of thought and effort to make things good for the racer. It behoves these promoters to have a rule book and purse that will attract as many cars as possible. Everybody knows about all the money they are raking in over us poor 99% ers. What they have produced is rules not "crap" I know that they do work together to try to get things close. I have raced at a few "foreign" tracks and didn't have to do a lot to run with them.

Seems like the two big problems would be weight and fuel. Bill May addresed the fuel thing last year to the approval of his group, he and old ppoutlaw have been working on rules together over the summer and ppoutlaw is changing his rules to accomodate even people like me. They might not be rules we like but they arent "crap" they will never please every one but if you don't like them you can always do something else like race midgets. (Did you ever read the USAC rule book) That is a work of art.
