The proposal would remove the requirement that you have an operational 
reverse gear.  It does not require you to remove the reverse gear.

The "Vicki Flier Rule" would still be in the rule book, so drivers would have 
to decide whether it is more important to be able to back up or to not blow 
up an FT200.

Since CM cars don't use FT200s, this is not a particularly important rule 
change for this class.  I suspect everyone will keep the reverse idler in the 
gearbox to be able to back up away from that stop box pylon they slid up next 
to.

Glad to see that the CM list is back!
