Come on Mark! Why do the people have to keep posting that this method - as a singular - is simply NOT conclusive. It's a broken record. The people involved have made their feelings heard very loudly.

Those people who didn't get to vote this time because they didn't know they had to speak up again...it's THEIR fault? Toni is trying to help the whole Div. At least this RE is trying to decide on his own patch - but as has been pointed out, we have new IT.com users who may or may not be duplicates or even in division who won't sign their real name being counted as votes? HA!

Here is my take right now:

- The vast majority of the class was polled in 2004

- That produced a pro spec tire choice - specifically the Toyo

- A vocal minority has rammed an agenda through for an open tire rule

- A weak at best 'straw poll' has been taken with minimal 'offical' votes being recorded

- The spec tire rule will be repealed based on 'member input'

- The majority who wanted a spec tire last year and who didn't know this was up for debate (beacuse they were not notified in their monthly publications, e-mail or snail mail) will go ape-crap

- There will be no data to support the change other than hear-say. Questions as to why the change was made and where the official votes are will be dismissed because there won't be nearly the actual data there was in 2004

The whole thing just stinks of something fishy. Good luck to you IT7 drivers.
