Glen,

I don't know why you waste you time trying to explain to 'THEM AMO BOYS" why 
they 
Should be having fun.  As much as they have tried to live "vicariously sp?"-- 
through their engines--( ie. how much NO2 they have consumed) you should have 
figured out that it is impossible for them to Register-- Fun ---unless they are 
on 
the salt on top of one of those "BIKES" that "LIKES" that NO2.  Damm I hope 
that 
this sounds as funny to some one else as it does to me!!! wmts

As far as (T/C) SCTA has never allowed it and for the last several years it
has been discussed at the rules meetings.
I'm sure it will come up again this year. As far as Nascar, all I did was
forward the article from their position on it and the penalties if
caught using it. SCTA has stiff penalties as well. We are never going to
please everyone as hard as we try.
If its taking the fun out of it for you we a sorry. However we have a lot of
input from the racers, clubs and the insurance companys
on everything we put into our rule book.

Jon, I am not on the rules committee as I have enough on my plate with the
timing etc. However I am the one that handles all of the
accidents and reports on them with a committee assigned to investigate them.
Many rules are written because of this, but only because
we feel it will add to the safety of our sport.

Just my views Jon.

Glen
