Travis quoted, "I do not read anywhere that the GT engine horsepower rating is different when used in a FWD as opposed to a RWD car. If you would like to submit that rule change for 2012, a letter must be received by the S/SS Committee asking for that change no later than the end of July 2011."

Myself, as well as many other racers have submitted these requests numerous times, with nothing being done! We are constantly told that the data is there to support the argument, but no changes are made! How many letters/emails must we send before this is even looked into? It is very frustrating!

Could you please explain to me why this "platform" rule only applies to Stock and Regular SS? That is what I do not understand and why I said that since GT is part of SS that the ahfs rules need to apply to ALL SS classes. And, you are right, all classes include the modified classes and truck classes! But the trucks would be a different "platform" than an F Body!! And modified "horsepower" only affects that class, unlike combos run in many different SS and GT classes.

If the "platform" rule is in the AHFS, then it should be enforced as written! Not as how it is interpreted differently by tech officials!!

No offense to you Travis! I applaud you for coming on here and discussing the issue!

Happy Thanksgiving, by the way.
