I simply can't imagine how the stewards were able to simply cancel the tire rule for the Roebling event. If somebody had showed up in a Spec Miata without a hardtop would they have let them run without one because SafeQuip Tim doesn't happen to stock them in his trailer? Suppose the gas pumps were locked, could I have run Cam 2 in my IT car? Don't have a current harness, so I can run without belts cause ISC doesn't sell them at the track? That is absolute crap. Talk about abuse of power -- where's Mattburg when you need him?
So there are two separate issues with Appalachian. First, as Grendel points out, you have to get your order in two weeks in advance. That's nothing new. Second, they don't appear to have a current stock. That part is new. I feel bad for them and the hit that does to their bottom line. They're certainly a hard working bunch of folks and put in a tremendious effort at all of our events.
