Exactly my point!� There are NO measurable limits therefore this is NOT an
enforceable rule except by the officials SUBJECTIVE opinion.� (As the event
officials change so will the limits.)� Should rules be included if they are
subjective only?

I am NOT advocating writing more rules because heavens knows there are more
rules than needed.� I am saying to use common sense, be fair,� and do NOT
discriminate..........For those who have never ventured beyond stock class,
there is quite a bit of difference when you go to modified or even prepared.�
Let's be fair to all competitors.
