Oh, sure. Take away EVERYTHING ELSE I (and other DSM owners) may have updated or
backdated too.
The prevailing attitude may be that the DSMs are new on the scene, but that is
NOT the case. These cars have been around for a while, and their owners have
been happily modifying, updating, and backdating - LEGALLY - for at least 4
years. And now you want to tell these guys "Whoops! Sorry! Illegal now!" because
a couple of people are suddenly doing OK - not "dominating" or "winning", but at
least not stuck in the back?
There's a message to send to club members "Do as well as you can, but don't
start winning in a different car than was has in the past, or we'll take it away
from you!"
>Ideas? Anyone?
Yes, a very simple one. LEAVE THE RULES ALONE, AS THEY EXIST TODAY. If the SEB
is _really_ that worried about an interpretation of the current rules allowing
turbos to be added to non-turbocharged cars, then WRITE A RULE THAT EXPLICITLY
FORBIDS PUTTING TURBOS ON ENGINES THAT WERE NOT AVAILABLE WITH FACTORY TURBOS.
This does not have to be difficult, or to inconvience anyone in any way. Nobody
_has_ to get screwed.
