The MMSA did not need a national rule book to be successful it was so on it's own right. The National group needed MMSA because of their success. When racing with the MMSA no one said anything about Engler Injection it was accepted. If that is your route to happiness so be it. No body said anything about suspension adjustments either, different approach to the same problem. Like someone once said "Just trying to be faster than you".

Now MALS people thought that mechanical injection was the worst thing since "Ebola" and crusaded to ban them from their organization. While taking up for mechanical injection on their web site Mark and I developed our relationship. You guys buy into the program and all of a sudden Tim is a sponsor and mechanical injection is a OK. If you guys want to put a $1200.00 mechanical injection on your car that is fine with me. I realize that you see it as a piece of Jewelery and it makes your "MINI SPRINT look more like a Midget which it is after all any how. The right rear shock on our car was on it when you guys started racing, it cost a whopping $700.00 back then which was a heck of a lot of money, but over the years it has been depreciated off of the books. That is a good investment in my books.

We do not need to be following their rules, they need to be following ours. Their 7 pages of rules is a far cry from the 1 page rule that you threw away to gain favor with them. How many MALS cars have attended any of our races? Is $700.00 to win going to encourage someone to travel 1500 miles to race.

Stay local do what is best for the local racers, Invite Focus, Kenyons, and Echo-tecs to race with us, find several tracks central to your membership>>>> go out and have fun.

I think what we are doing is working just fine, and all though these National Rules have maybe kept a few from coming out, they are far outnumbered by new faces. As long as I'm helping with this deal I will be standing with the National partners.. MALS, ILSS in 2015, and everyone else that agreed to those rules.

One thing is for certain. Not everyone will always be happy.
