Ok who read the changes in march's fast track? On the fuel system and lines, and extra tanks, ETC. Since volkswagens use an accumulator (Like an Accusump but for fuel) in their system, Does that make

I found the excessive wording in the restructured rules to be excessive. In addition, if the appeal of the protest found the RX's fuel system legal, then why are the rules being changed to make them

The rules makers didn't _intend_ to allow the RX fuel system. However, in the protest process, they can't punish people for following the written rules. And they judged that the written rules allowed

You and Mark Sipe are apparently, at least in your own minds, omniscient. How in hell can you claim to know the INTENT of the rulesmakers if you didn't participate in the rules-writing process? Well,

That may have been done, but the authority for doing such a thing really only rests with the SEB. The line between "reasonable" reading of the rules and "tortured interpretation" usually falls in th

Good technical info, I didn't know that. I'd bet a set of (used) Hoosiers they aren't. SP is generally seen as a perfectly reasonable domain for old, cheap-to-build cars. KCB

The slippery slope here is "intended purpose." The fuel supply system of a car accomplishes several purposes: 1. Storage of fuel. Mostly in the tank, but also everywhere else in the fuel system. 2. S
