How did I get drug into this mess??? And shouldn't it be me that was
insulted? ;)
But as long as I am here, I might as well use the bandwidth to irritate
someone ;)
For those that think because Roger doesn't run STS he has no place
commenting on it, think again. Assuming STS achieves national status at
some point, an STS protest will land in the lap of The Chief of Protest, and
this past Nationals, that was Roger. It will be his charge to deal with it.
In its present state, the street tire rule is un-enforceable. So how is the
protest committee supposed to deal with it? This places the PC in the
impossible situation of trying to enforce the un-enforceable. (Not far from
the stock ECU problem) No matter how the PC rules, it will find itself
buried in controversy. I would not want to find myself in such a situation.
To ignore the pitfalls of the street tire rule and press on with "National
Status" will make a mockery of rules and their enforcement. This will
affect more than just STS and that is why others think it is in their best
interest to comment.
