What Scott said!!!
To all who want to change the rule, get started on getting an all inclusive form of voting that is fair to both sides ( one vote for each competitor ) for NEXT YEAR. This will (at the very least) give the people who have invested in tires for this season the time to prepare for the possibility of a change. This won't affect the larger budget racers either way, but it could hurt a lot of the others, which would lower participation numbers.
There seems to be some level of politics going on here, but since I don't have that information, this method will give both sides ample time to prepare their respective cases, and will eliminate most of the "I didn't know a vote was being held" arguments. This seems to be the fairest approach.
Party on people!
