Letter 9306:
1. rotor clarification
2. caliper clarification
3. RWD weight penalty in STL now 3.5% (9.1.4.3.I.3)

more weight to the RWDs, 2.0Ls like the NC MX-5 now hitting just shy of 2800 lbs. only the renesis is heavier (do rotaries get the RWD adder on top of the base weight from 9.1.4.3.I.2?). Is this reaction to huffmaster Sr.'s runoffs win? I'm curious as to the motivation regardless. seems STL has been on quite a binge this year, with 2.0L RWD piston cars gaining 130 lbs since January.

oh, and FYI to the STAC, the weight multiplier listed in the "current" GCR is 1.3#/cc, though the table (and unchanged portion of the proposed rule in the prelim minutes) uses 1.35#/cc as revised earlier this year.
