Recently, I asked my new DD (a nice kid BTW) to ask about expanding the FWD classes by a couple (or few) because of the amounts of weight that I must add to change classes which basically makes my combos into single-class cars. I got a letter (through him) by Pat C. telling me that I can remove or add 420 lbs. to my CF/S combo to move classes. He didn't or wouldn't mention my AF/S combo (the car that I was racing on the day that I had my talk with my new DD) which requires a 1200 lb. swing to go to AAF/S or BF/S.
They don't even know their own rules, General Regulations specifically states that a car can't have more than 500 LBS. of removable OR permanent ballast. When I brought this to their attention, I got crickets!
