Oh yeah, I forgot to add "NO NEW RULES"

Best way to kill a Spec class is to keep changing the rules. Potential new drivers will see this as a less than perfect situation since there is too much conflict and unsettled rules. They will end up in SM.

I agree with charlie, NO new rules!!!! A stable rules platform is very attractive, new rules every year seems like change for change's sake. Lexan side windows? Who needs them?

Chuck, RD and others......really? Why do you care if I have lexan 1/4 windows with naca ducts or a 3 pc crossmember? You dont have to run them, but why downgrade to a no vote to impede someone else enjoying them?

This goes out to all that vote on issues. How about voting No if you think it will cause an unfair advantage, and vote yes if you dont care one way or the other.

Because that's their opinion on the proposal.

There is a lot to be said that each non stock change to the car allows wriggle room by the rule readers. Some feel that changes from stock components need to be justified more than just because it's easy/no big deal/no advantage.

Both Charlie and Ron (and to a large extent me) feel the statement

No New Rules

Meets the best way to end each year. We all recognize that some changes are occasionally needed but like to see a good justification.

(I'll also let them talk for themselves - this is my opinion not theirs)

I am with Jerry and Ron on this 100%.

Rule changes for the fun of it does not fit well with spec classes.

Both of those things have some merit but are not needed.

I am going to take a head count personally at the next NASA race to see where so-cal stands.

Jerry if you or Ken would do the same it would be appreciated. Please write down each persons name and their opinion about any of the posted changes.

If there are going to be any changes it should be by majority rule. Not by dictator rule.

Now repeat after me "NO NEW RULES"
