Bull. Someone decided that "it would be cool" to have "free will" to buy a cam, header, and whatever else. It was not a strategic move for the good of the class in the long run and there WILL be more changes, when someone else decides something else would be cool...

WOW,
Kirk you are a real purist!! And I do respect that!
But, I do think that you can clearly identify the difference between cam and header and a washer bottle in terms of performance potential. If eleminating the washer bottle is not a strategic move for the good of the class then what does the motec mumbo-jumbo do for the class?
If I wrinkle up my car then I have to add washer bottle to the parts list.....? Come on, how many guys are doing this? A purist would say this is creep, anyone else would say elimnating a rule designed to "haze" is class preservation. Eleminating the washerbottle or TS stalk does not make us production.....nor does it weigh 30lbs to now "strap to the floor thus giving me a performance advantage". Let's call a spade a spade. Were all smart and gentlemen...but let's be realistic.
Again, what you see as an advantage I may see as a disadvantage- see my heatercore reference.
Now I'll play Devils advocate..... I'll go to the dealer and put a bottle in my car. Then at the start of the season I'll spend the money and protest for lack of bottle in my competitors cars. I'll clearly win. Does this make me a rules purist, a competitor striving for equality? Or does it make me an a$$h*le?
OK, gotta go, my commodore 64 is too close to my Kerosene heater, which is in front of my rotary dial phone which is ringing......
Evolution is not always bad!!!!!
