At the Labor Day Junk-o-Thon, Bob Wink, the tech inspector, announced that he did not want to see any more aluminum rims.
This is fine, with a couple of exceptions pertaining to the way this is being implemented.
If this is a rule change, then YOU must change the rules on the NEETS website, otherwise it is not enforceable.
I would also like to state I am not a fan of changing the rules mid-season.
I know that most of the drivers are already using steel rims, and I'm not contesting the use of aluminum rims, even though I have not seen one fail in all the events that I have participated in.
What I am contesting is the way this is being implemented. If you verbally state a rule change mid-season, and do not back up any of the supporting documentation, then if you try to enforce the rule, you will anger both sides of the rule. Whether you enforce it or not. This hurts everyone and the takes away from the validity of the series.
Sorry Wink, I love you man! But we can't do it like this!!!
