(Yes it happens) you gotta have a rule that covers that guy too. As for the flexplate. You got one guy that races like crazy several nights a week and goes rounds. vs guys who’s flexplate could last forever because they only race once or twice a year. Gotta have a rule that covers both. Because we have gotten away from personal responsibility and into suing everybody when something happens. But where I think it’s nuts is transmission shields and flywheel shields. How does a piece of aluminum or steel just go bad. Because it was bolted on the car. Unless something gernades how can that ever be damaged or worn out? Now that’s a waste of money. But it keeps the contingency sponsors in business so I guess it’s not all bad.

IMO a 5 year rule would make sense but the 2 year rule is really off the wall!

Damn I didn't realize they put a time frame on them too, I thought it was just all v8 stockers need an SFI plate now.
