Yeah, this is a bummer, but after reading the rules I'm not too surprised. But it sounds like the technical idjit made up his own rules on the spot.
He just took one look at you bad boys, heard all those nasty sounds and soiled his pants. I was waiting for them to say you all needed door handles. They were right about one thing though, our cars are not convertibles. They are roadsters. We don't need no stinkin' windows.
Say, I hear that there are places that do 1/8 mile drags. Perhaps their rules are a little less anal since the speeds are so much less. Do they do this anywhere near here? Is this a business opportunity? Racer Rich
