Whiney butts, that's who. Due to an unwritten policy-procedure that should have been addressed correctly many years ago, the BBC cars can use the Mk VI 9/16" studs and over-the-GM-counter 7/16" pushrods that were developed for the CanAm racers in the 60s and 70s. So, with poor logic as a weapon, the tech department gets assailed with "if they can do it then why shouldn't I be able to" until they cave.

An effective use of the committees would be to only allow rules changes that are authored within the committee (except human safety considerations). Then do everything we can to make the "voter turnout" be a higher statistical number than what happens during elections that determine the future of our nation.
