Me either - but, I can think of no specific example of where allowing
folks to add a front or rear bar of their choice to the existing stock
cars would upset *any* applecart. It MAY allow some otherwise
uncompetitive cars to be a little more competitive. Maybe.

Can anyone name one example of where the allowance would kill a now
dominant car?

The front swaybar allowance was fine for its time. The current
suggestion, considering all of the automotive evolution that has
happened since, (to me) makes a lot of sense.

How can we request that this be given formal consideration?  Write
letters? All this talk on Team.net will actually lead nowhere, and as
Byron mentioned, last time this came up *very few* actually responded to
a query.
