Thanks, Andy, for hanging with us and voicing your
opinions. It's helpful when you and GH share some of the
thought processes that go into SEB decision-making.
I disagree with you on one point however. :-) Allowing a
modification in Stock to balance the field is a very slippery
slope. I'm *not* suggesting that shocks should be stock since
they fall into that "replacement parts" category, but a sway bar
should be stock. There are more than enough car models
and classes to have at least a few competitive marques in each
of the nine stock classes without using modifications to balance
the field. All IMO.
