He had alot more to say about it, but I was too busy while my heads were being poured to hear every word about it. But it sounded like he was very adamant about not allowing this rule to change.
Maybe you and Terry can call him and explain that he's all wrong about his thoughts. I'm guessing he has talked to racers/engine builders about this, because he was pretty quick to talk about it and knows its a topic that is on people's minds. Or maybe he reads classracer
