As discouraging as it may be, hopefully no one will be so de-motivated as to put their car in the classifieds just because of what goes on at the Shootout; there's plenty of other places to race where the Powers that Be are attempting to do things the right way. The place where I choose to run (Montpelier) has one of the more liberal rules packages out there but you don't hear much complaining because everybody goes in with their eyes wide open knowing that the rules have basically stayed the same for the last 3 seasons and Harold isn't likely to make any knee-jerk reactions. SSMS, IMRA and the new BAM series are a little stricter, but again you know where they stand. For the most part we're all in this for the fun and comeraderie, not to put some Brass Roughneck on our shelf...
