Life without the VIN rule

How competitive is the 1st gen CRX in ITB?

IMO this car has the potential to be an absolute front runner. But I don't know Hondas as well as ... um ... well the Honda guys.

Tom, your times at Road Atlanta were impressive, and, correct me if I'm wrong, but you didn't get a lot of miles under your belt this year (and wasn't it your first time there?) and I know your tires, at least, weren't 10/10ths...

Great thread.

***On the other hand, if even one piece of the unibody is different and you leave it, you're not legal.***

& everything else about the cars. BUT, no worry because I'm sure you all have the knowledge of ALL the different model cars. The fat lady ain't even started to sing.

Oh crap, it don't matter because no one in IT ever writes paper.

You still don't get it Dave. If someone wants to cheat in this manner - they could do be doing so all along. Cheaters were not waiting for a rule to let them use an illegal body shell, or illegal parts. Competitors that don't know enough about a particular model to spot the difference are as in the dark now as they were then.

Policing the class does need to happen, and we the drivers are on the hook for that, but it has nothing to do with this rule.

It won't make any difference, Chris.

DD just liked to kick at anthills. His arguments don't have to be grounded in any substantive logic to do that.

Be careful when using absolutes in your arguments, DD, because it's an easy way to not make your point.

Or, maybe you haven't been paying attention, but I've seen, and been a part of, some paper writing....and come to think of it, if I recall correctly, you have to.

I have had paper written towards me, but the paper didn't stick.

ID some paper that stuck.

As the rules slip the ant hills get smaller.

WE have all read stuff on this site that wouldn't stand paper but no one writes the paper.

D some paper that stuck.

Read the current FasTrack.
