You obviously don't understand... A rule change for safety reasons makes sense. A change made by a couple of people for reasons only they can justify is a matter worth arguing over. It's the way this rule came about that's problematic.

I do find it ironic that the person who is likely the foremost authority on defunct race tracks would suggest we "not go" when we feel something is unjust. How many of the now closed race tracks shut down due to bad management? Car counts are low enough without alienating customers (which racers are) and democracy or not, the track is a business that needs customers.
