The question of who lit the fuse that's easy, look around at the giant stackers and toter homes. It's my opinion that 90% of the rule changes are desired by 10% of the racers. Just look around at all the new Cobalts and G5's. If these people can go out and buy a new car at $85,000-$100,000 per do you think a clutchless is an issue for them? Me I can't swing it if I couldn't build my own car and engine I'd be gone I like most of you have to work for a living. However I still like to have fast stuff, I have to decide where best to spend my money to accomplish that. Tony, you had me dead to rights the last time we raced, no one was more suprised to see I'd won than me. I told you the first time we raced I have alot of respect for anyone out there rowing the gears. After 25 years of stick racing this was my first car to have a fluid drive, I've got to say it's not nearly as much fun as yanking a lever. Joe
