Default Re: "2012 and beyond rule proposals"

OK - I'll go 1st................

I'd like to see the rules opened up so that a traditional RWD SS'er (like mine) would be permitted to apply the same allowances as the FWD conversion cars.
Specifically
eliminate factory the K-member - replace with tube
eliminate factory control arms - replace with fabricated tube
eliminate the upper control arm and use a strut that mounts in the factory upper shock location
rod ends instead of factory ball joints etc...
firewall ? - pobably does not apply. room to fit engine not a problem.
I doub't it would make the car any faster but I think it would be safer
I think it would make the car able to hook consistently without the big wheelstands (also safer)

BTW - I don't care about the cost - It would be an option

anyone who wants to continue to race with factory parts would still be allowed
