very entertaining wandering around PRI yesterday inquiring of the safety-related manufacturers when they were planning to have -15 shoes and gloves available for everybody running 7.49 or quicker with methanol and/or NOS... no one apparently makes a -15 shoe, nor -15 gloves... imagine you're at Atco for their Saturday night bracket program -- and you'll have 50 guys standing around in the lanes with their -15 firesuits, -20 (Funny Car) booties and -20 gloves... yah, right...

Simpson, Bell, Impact, Taylor all confirmed that there was zero consultation with them before the new rules came out...

expect a number of clarifications before the season starts... you wonder when the track owners will start bitching up a storm when they figure out that half of their fields are either non-compliant, or staying home...
unless they come up with a different set of rules or cheaper alternatives, looks like it'll cost you close to $2000 to run TD or fast brackets on alcohol or spray... before you buy that tube to exhaust your generator onto the roof of the motorhome parked next door...
