Why can't you have it to allow "one end or the other" even in the event
that is allows one to be added on? I know that it creates a car that was
never available that way. But so too does adding a front sway bar onto a
car that was never originally equipped with one. Sure, most if not all
cars today have at least some skinny little front sway bar, but not all
cars were so equipped (or blessed) by the factory that made them. The
rules specifically allow for it.
"Substitution, addition or removal of any front anti-roll bars is permitted."
So I say give it to 'em. An either-or situation. Yes, there is a good
chance that some cars will rise above their otherwise meager potential,
and yes it's also possible that the fast cars will only get faster.
Aww nuts... just go Street Prepared and be done with it. If y'all want
to tweak suspensions, do it in a class that allows it. I say have stock
cars STOCK.
Hmm, it's been a really long day, maybe I shouldn't have written that.
Maybe I should just delete it and not even sen....
