First off......I deal with OSHA on a daily basis. If they ever show up for any reason, we are toast.

25# is 25# to me. Like you said before...."What is so hard to understand?" Understand this........ Where is the positive proof alky is the do all end all fuel compared to gas that warrants any weight difference? Pretty simple question. What would everyone's attitude be if the roles would be reversed? Or if someone figures out a way to get E85 to make substantially more power by spending a little more money on parts to maximize output HP and the "powers" think we all ought to "go green," save the planet and mandate a weight advantage for the E85 cars? You think the gas guys won't have a hissy fit? Imagine how stupid us alky guys could get then!!! LOL Besides......I think you could look a lot farther past the alky issue if you want to save the "new guy"money if you think fuel related costs might deter entrants. Please don't get me started.........

To be honest......I wasn't necessarily thinking of a National Series with points and such. I was just thinking of a "standard set of basic rules" to use at major events to start out with. A way to attract the maximum number of entrants. Look at how the Illinois deal went over. I haven't checked it lately but it appeared to me quite a few are NOT planning on going next year due to this fuel issue and somewhat due to the weight concerns. I don't see the need for an bonafide Organization at this time.....just aggreed to general rules. Then see how it goes. Groups are talking now and comparing their rules....get it better organized is all I am saying and consistant. If people want a 970-1000# car.....fine. I don't. I will do something else or I will continue to simply race where I do now and forget the ocassional traveling idea. Pretty simple.
