My response would have to be - - what happened in this month's Fastrack?
How did all of the PAC recommendations get ruled on, and a completely
opposite NEW ruling (that did not previously exist) occur WITHOUT
MEMBER COMMENT? The rules that were defined in the prepared catagory
in this month's Fastrack came from left field, with no chance for input.
re:
" - non -production, full bodied, full fendered strictly - specified cars
- - Production quantities, EPA approval, and DOT approval are not
required - - " (Are we opening the catagory up to black market cars, now??)
and "Cars which are classed by the designation "NOC" in Appendix A,
Prepared Catagory, will be allowed to compete in AP - -"
Maybe I missed it, but I sure do not recall the request for member input.
And one side note, about the ruling not to separate the AP class (despite
PAC recommendations and letters written) BECAUSE THE WINNING CARS
(that created the imbalance in the first place) DEPARTED THE CLASS - -
what a precedence to be set!!! What happens if they change their mind?
Maybe they will sell those cars to me!! Why could I not just replicate
theirs - -
I will bet that if that happened in a stock class (a totally dominant
driver/car
left the class, so no adjustment was necessary) then there would be a real
ruckus!!
Of course, it really doesn't matter, does it. My fellow AP competitors seem
to
make a lot of noise at events and banquets around the country, but are
truly
apathetic to what really is occurring to their class.
Guess that makes me a radical because I care, I notice, I comment, I write
letters, and am vocal on these issues??
