A Poll Regarding the IT Rules Set
I'm curious to see how many of the IT Forum members would like to change the IT rules set to drop some of the rather pointless rules requiring washer bottles, heater cores, and other "street car" items that seem to be vestiges from the dual purpose beginnings of IT.
When you vote on the poll I'd like for you to assume that it will be possible to simply remove these requirements from the rules set with no negative "unintended consequences". I am aware that there are those that feel we can't possibly remove these items from the IT rules set without destroying IT but to those folks I say "bullshit". It is my poll so vote with my boundary condition in mind :).
For the purposes of the poll assume we're talking about the following "dual purpose vestiges": washer bottle, heater core and HVAC system, wipers/wiper motors, headlights, and wiper bottle reservoir.
Support to Ron Earp's Proposal
I'm sure that this is not a surprise to most who know me, but I support in concept the proposal that Ron Earp is presenting. Please do away with "Non Value Added Stuff". Washer Bottle, Horn, Heater Core, and the like. Permit those items that do not add value to "race cars" to be removed. I presented a similar concept a while back by proposing the removal of stuff that is "Non Value added", Ron the same folks chimed in and make the same statements to my recommendations also. Ron "Thank you" for getting the ball rolling.
By the way, No, I do not think that IT is "Broken", but it is time to remove some of the dings and dents and maybe touch up the paint, or at the least give it a good wax job. While I do not agree with all that the CRB, nor the ITAC have done, I beleive that they have tried their level best to keep IT at the top of the SCCA Class ladder for regional racing, and that is where I want it to stay. Thank You, David Ellis-Brown
