You old guys I think just get bored and start making rules up that don't need to be in place (or in your case dad, writing out long winded responses with a bunch of hooplah most don't understand or read lol).... You guys need a secondary hobby for when you're not at the racetrack that doesn't include racing ********.

Amen>>>>that weight rule should cover Carbon fiber and Ti. Nobody hates bull s$1T rules more than me. If you want to show up with a $400,000.00 hauler with a Ti frame and carbon fiber body more power to you I'll even come over an admire your equipment a little. You earn your money you should be allowed to spend it on whatever you wish. But you should also have to make the weight rule. It would probably take a 2" thick lead plate. In fact you might have to result to Silver or Gold for the additional weight. \

For some of us we really don't need another hobby My Boat hasn't been i the water for 25 years now. If you manage to keep racing for 50+ years you may have a few changes in your outlook at racing. The prettyest car is the one out front, You know I raced with a guy that had the first carbon fiber bodies out of the mold. Before the carbon fiber his cars were always a beautiful dark Blue with big old real Gold leaf "6" s on them. They were a always lot prettier than his carbon fiber cars. Come to think of it he had a guy that later took the nick name "Smoke" drive for him.
