    How would that not be considered "strained or tortured interpretation"?

    I agree that the example I gave is NOT allowed because it says the complete duct assembly. This is why in my next sentence I said "My answer is simply NO" I think the interpertation part comes into play when someone asks at what point are they considerate seperate ducting assemblies. Some may argue when they are sperated in two different windows, or 2 seperate sides of the car, others may argue that each duct that serves a different function would be considered a different assembly. I only mention this because I think that the intention`(in my opinion and I am NOT on any rules boards) was one duct per window since it does say "in THE plane of the window".

    So to make it clear.. my interpretation is that I DO think that you can have one on each side of the car. up to 100sq inches each, or mulitple ducts in 1 window plane not to exceed a total of 100 sq. inches.

    (The previous post had asked if it was per side.)

    Sorry for the confusion

    I put in a few requests, and was hoping to see them in the April Fasttrack, but they did not arrive, however I did see a whole new look! It is good to see that major problems have been recognized and we are now seeing some changes.

    I have to say I like the change! Not only have I recieved follow-up e-mails discussing the requests but also additional ones telling me that they are still in process and are continuing to review the requests. The other day I also recieved a call from Kevin (not sure who he is) to tell me that I might not see the results in the next Fasttrack as they are making several changes (To IT???) and thus things are a bit busy. While I would really like to see my specific needs fixed I can wait, especially because I can personaly see the start of some good changes!

    Thanks to those making it happen;

    Kevin is new. He replaces Jeremy, who has moved up the ladder, I think.

    He's right..we're taking a month or two to do some big picture housecleaning and stabilizing of our foundation.

    ITB is needing lots of attention, and some cars need lots of weight. Torque is a big issue, we're figuring out how to slap them with some major poundage.
