bit confused on washer bottle..

[planet6racing]

Washer bottle? Mine's gone! That was the happiest day so far this year when working on the race car. Well, that and realizing that I could move the battery to the rear of the car and complete remove the dashboard and everything else in there...

(note, I'm moving to FP)

One could argue that you are using the washer bottle for something other than it's original purpose, therefore it is against the IT rules.

So does GCR 9.3.37 override the IT rules?

Well....the brake assembly is for slowing down the car. And the transmission is used for matching engine speed to road speed, allowing the car to travel at higher speeds and accelerate at a given road speed. Many times I like to use my engine and transmission, instead of my brakes, for slowing down my car. Am I using an item for something other than it's original purpose and in violation of the rules?

My thoughts are that if we would modify the rules to allow the removal of the washer bottle no cars would see any performance gains, but many employers would get a little more out of their employees.

Funny - but not true. Why? As has been beaten to death, the WB is poster child for 'what I don't need to build a racecar' or 'if it isn't performance or safety related, it should be able to be removed' arguement. The line in the sand is there. No compelling reasons to move it IMHO have been made to date. Glass windshield, glass hatches, headlights, horns, taillights, dashboards, heater cores...the list goes on and on.

Everyone has thier own definition of what is 'right for a racecar'.
