Billy this has to be the worst-case scenario I have seen in Stock and Super Stock in its 60 plus years of existence. I would not want to be the one that makes the decision on how to straighten this mess out. You can say just go back and put all the right info in. But where does it end. Do you get rid of the aluminum drive shaft that the 67 Shelby Mustangs get to use because years later Shelby added them as an option on the car? If someone was to go back and right all that is wrong, they may spend the next 5 years trying to figure it all out. And for everything they try to correct someone will come up with a reason to justify why it was done that way to begin with. It's uglier than ugly. I hate to see more rule changes and I would hate to see us lose any more racers. I hope they are able to come up with a solution that will affect us races in the least possible way. I hate to see them do away with shipping weights but at this point it has to be on the table. It's not the right thing to do but it may be the only thing they are able to do. You like to pick on my car and that's ok. Could you imagine how many others will start to nitpick on other cars if their car gets effected after they have been running it that way for years. It will start a war between all of us racers that I would hate to see. And so would the Powers to be. You see some of the post it's already started. That itself could end what is still left to Stock and Super Stock. Think about it sometimes what you wish for ends up being the biggest mistake. I want what's in best interest for the long-term health of our class. BP
