... and the name has to end with a "N" and a "K"
Seriously tho, its this kinda crap that keeps me from wanting to race. I can understand the highest end of the sport (pros) needing some body of rules to keep things organized and competitive, but for avg tracks these rules are lame.
I've heard its also to keep racing in a reasonable "budget" instead of a rich man's game, but from what I see its kinda like that already. People top $ for the highest spec "race" cells, tons of equipment (cell dischargers, shorters, the like) to maintain them, tons of money on other things as well to maximize within the limiting body of rules. I guess it will be a bit like that no matter what, but still, it seems to take all teh fun out of it.
I'd rather just go to a "run what yo mama gave you" open race and let it be a proving ground for the very best setups. If you can win on magical pixie dust, good for you. Have some loose classes to keep it reasonably fair, then just let loose. I compare it to UFC vs Karate, with UFC being far more innovative and entertaining.
