Well there ya go, 6 diff. winners!!! Why would you want to think about changing the rules??? I went thru all this 3 years when Jimmy & LC were winning EVERY race, 2 or 3 guys came up with ways to slow the fastest guys down to there speed and they beat on me for months to make a change. And 1 of the ideas then was to add weight for running more than X faster than the other cars etc. etc.....I polled all the racers 1 at a time and the MAJORITY said; "leave the rules alone, we will build to them, if Spot can do it so can we" And they did!!!! 6 different winners this year should say it all! Adjustments to the rules at year end like changing the weight for 2 carbs or sheetmetal intake or another specific modification is 1 thing but adding weight to keep it close will only slow down the whole class in the end.......just my thoughts.... -- Texas Pro Stock Association Message Board

MIke I really appreciate you weighing in on this. As you know, it's extremely difficult to convey the complete message/idea without being face to face. The "adjustment" idea came from the man who is currently the quickest car (after 1 weekend out with his combo). Joe Pigford has more experience than anyone in the class when it comes to EXTREMELY expensive racing; ie, Comp elim, and PS truck. When a man (who will lose some of his advantage over the field) suggests that we consider something to inhibit 6 figure spending....well, maybe it's worth a thought. He and a few others can afford it but the majority of the class can't or won't. Price some of the exotic engine stuff that's out there, ceramics, titanium, composites, and our $30K or so motors could cost double or triple that. As I posted, it's just an idea and each member should voice his opinion. -- when do you want your old job back?....LOL....DH, 10/ 7/06 12:17pm
