Dan and rules committee..............
So the logic is if someone set a record with an unfair rule that all
that follow must be subjected to the same degree of unfair LOL what a
crock if i ever heard one.. Sort of like the 'the floggings will
continue until morale improves'.. Dan in all honesty I am really
disappointed in the scta on this one. I can not believe that this was
turned down. It tells me a couple of things..Mostly that SCTA does not
really care about conforming in any way to the standards set by the
motor sport community (aka the rest of the world), and that they do not
see fit to change an unfair rule as technology moves forward. The piston
engines are a lot better than they were when the rotaries first came out
and the rotary is still the same place. Geez it does not even describe
the physics involved in the combustion process... makes me want to ask
if there are any sacred 'F' class records that have to stay intact...
Are there any engineers on the rules committee?? If so any mechanical
ones??? Did anyone think it had merit or was this universally
dismissed???
A pretty disappointed guy here in CT....
