AMEN: BRO. ROBERT


People race to find that special "edge" over the other guy. Some people do it with money some do it with brains. Watch out for the guy that uses both.

If we wanted cookie cutter race cars we can all go down to the corner GoKart track and race for a few bucks and have a pretty good time doing it. That is a whole bunch cheaper than a car, trailer, tow vehicle and spares. But we want to beat the other guy on our terms with our stuff. If you think a rule will make racing cheaper from my experience you are dead wrong, ain't gona happen.

We are pretty good about making safety rules (except fo that dumb ol nerf bar rule, I think a hold over from BEN HURR'S days) that make racing safer, but unless you require every body to buy the same car and engine combo ala (600 racing legand cars) they even want every one to buy from the same supplier, sounds like Communism to me not my kinda of racing.

The best rule we have come up with in the last 20 years is a reasonable weight rule. That does level the playing field.

DAD'S GOLDEN RULE "KISS" Thank you Bill May !
