In my opinion and experience there are often different dimensions to rules.
For example
- Rules as written
- Rules as interpreted
- Rules as enforced
I think this particular rule needs some added clarity for Stock and Super Stock. Most importantly I'd like to know how the ruling will be enforced, and that it will be enforced the same for everyone everywhere. That's why I posted the request here in a public forum rather than making a private call to any individual NHRA representative.
We have a Sportsman Racer Advisory Council (SRAC) comprised of 1 Stock or Super Stock rep from each division, plus an NHRA Division Director and technical representative. The stated purpose of the SRAC is to provide a means for discussing and evaluating rules and regulations pertaining to Sportsman racing at NHRA events. IMO This request is perfectly suited for their scope of work.
I don't know that we need to fight for anything, but think it's a good idea to express opinions to our reps so they can best represent our collective interests.
