[Fot] T50 gearbox CVAR and my GT6

[Jim]

Bob, 

Now you've lost me.  What all did CVAR "dislike" about the car?   Just the
gearbox?  Or were there things changed over the winter (after Eagles
Canyon)?

And I guess the real question was... during the discussions with CVAR was it
a set list of changes required, or did it turn into a "honey - do" list with
things added as Bobby went along?  

And was the authenticity committee involved?  Run group leader?  CVAR
leadership?

CVAR makes a bit point on the club website to "discuss a 'new' car with the
various run group leaders" to determine elegibility.  My concern is that
these guys aren't giving a consistent story.

When I ran in 1995 authenticity was a "nice idea" but not really enforced.
They did suggest that I replace my 13" rims with 10", but it wasn't a
requirement.  Melting a piston going into Turn 1 meant I didn't have to
worry about the rims after that :O

Watching the dicing on track is interesting, but I think they made a
philosophical mistake by calling it 'racing'.   As an exhibition, things
like the gearbox wouldn't really matter.

Cheers,

I think an important point is being missed here, especially by CVAR.
