The interesting thing is that both sides have very legitimate points but that is where the similarity ends:

1. The e36 had not gone through "the process" and that is unarguable....

2. That fact is also not Andy or Jake or anyone else's fault.

Can we get agreement on these two points?
Next,

The SCCA and the ITAC have tried in some way to level the playing field......agreed?

They propsed several options and the CRB went with the SIR.....agreed?

All parties involoved were in a system of checks and balances, meaning it was a peer reviewed process and not a unilateral decision. Information was collected for/against adjustment of the e36......agreed?

The e36 boys feel there is a conspiracy or that they are funding the SCCA's experiment....agreed?
The crux of the matter is that there is no e36 guys that can back up there stance with facts yet- only conjecture.....and that is where most of us see a problem with how you guys are going about it. You will not get a sympathetic ear with this playbook. Just look at the facts and reverse the roles.....it's right there in front of you.

Pitch in, team up and PROVE that it was a mistake. Instead you're whining and letting Andy do they dyno work for you. How cowardly. You (generically) attack him and he still goes to bat for you to make sure they (ITAC/CR got it right!!

WOW.

If he's right there should be a whole bunch of apologies and atta boy's.

Let's not forget this is a volunteer thing. Being lambasted for a hobby stinks.

Doc,
The SCCA and the ITAC have tried in some way to level the playing field......agreed? YES
They propsed several options and the CRB went with the SIR.....agreed? YES
The e36 boys feel there is a conspiracy NO or that they are funding the SCCA's experiment....agreed? YES
Pitch in, team up and PROVE that it was a mistake. THEY ALREADY KNOW IT WAS A MISTAKE BY RAISING THE SIR SIZE FROM 27 MM TO 29 MM.
2. That fact is also not Andy or Jake or anyone else's fault. CORRECT
Doc, this is SCCA's tech dept problem, not AB's or anyone else's. All we want is some guarantee that we won't be chasing our tails some 3 months into the racing season. Is this too much of a unreasonable request?
Again, other that a little sarcasm I have and never will condon or be apart of personal attacks.
