& that's how it starts...a bill of goods is sold as "junkyard engines" (or any of the such, its NOT only in this form of racing) & then one guy that has money/connections/manufacturer support shows up with something that was not really in the rules, and then everyone else has to play catch up & things get out of hand (not just "D2". 2.4, etc; pretty much all racing)...ALL because officials won't stand up to their original rules to the connected/well financed/manufacturers...for some reason, they are afraid of telling ONE or TWO in those positions, they can't have what they shouldn't (usually people say "well that isn't what made them fast"...ok, why did they spend $1000s + on smthn that wouldn't make them fast or add longevity to their program???)...BUT then, SOME of the same officials or series, are somehow "ok" with starting a whole new program (or additional series, segmenting what they have) and telling everyone to start over...all just because rules weren't contained in the 1st place...
In direct regard to this whole deal (NOT just one series or sanctioning body), the simplest way (to start) would be: Add 50lbs and 16 PSI to any car that does not have and OEM injector.
Much of the same (+) for anyone with more than a 10deg lay-over
(I don't know how many/if any; allow; but) no carbon fiber or titanium allowed anywhere on the cars either...it doesn't matter if they found it in the forums for cheap...just don't allow it...
& I of coarse I agree with the hard tire...BUT also, only allow ONE purchased per race night (obvsly more to start the year)...they have a form of this rule at my local NASCAR stock car track (so I'm not just making up smtn that isn't proven out)...everyone has a "tire bank"...idc if the guy that won five features all did it with the same RR, just DON'T ALLOW someone to buy a bunch every week (regardless of it they do or don't)...it can be figured out...if anyone wants to...
Cockpit adjustments: If USAC sprints don't allow them, these forms of racing sure shouldn't...I would think anyway...
