Here s the way I look at things in my older more confused and cloudy mind. Over the years I have deffinitley flip flopped on a lot of views. Why do we make rules to make ourselves exclusive to ourselves? Why would one want to outlaw one drive system over another. Chain inside the frame rail or no quick change allowed. Sure we can always bring up cost of doing something, or safety. But really what we are just trying to do is to make those people with a little different approach to accomplishing the same goal not eligible to compete against us.

Their are young guys out there like Bob that have raced T/Q's and being people that like to push the envelope a little might decide to bolt a 1000cc motor into an old TQ frame and come race with us. If we are so smug in our idea that chain is superior why wouldn't we want to give a guy with a little different car the chance to prove us wrong. Or for that matter why would the T/Q groups not allow a 600cc upright to race with them.

I guess the TQ guys could say we have all race cars we need now so "NO MORE NON CONFORMING RACERS ALLOWED". That is always subject to change. Can the 600cc and 1000cc uprights say the same thing?

What is wrong with a little more competition?
