Allow me to translate.

What they do not understand is why certain rules are brought up for this event, namely, the insurance and registration required to race, as well as the need for full carpet and a passenger seat. The three of the guys are not concearned about passing tech inspection, they will stick to the requirements for that, but why can't they put a car together, trailer it on down to island, and run it, just as everyone else on Islands saturday and sunday runs and test and tunes can? Why does it have to be different this time?

My point:
I understand that rules are rules, and that's all fine and good. Now i am making a suggestion: Why can't there be a separate class for those of us on the boards, with an F body, who do not have a full carpet or passenger seat? It would be so simple. Why do I ask? Because people like, say for instance, Craig, can't race without his passenger seat now. And well hell, that blows. So if he puts it back in? Fine, but now he just added more weight, and thus a slower time. After all, you guys are freaks about weight reduction, aren't you? (no offense intended)

All they are asking for is a separate class. I understand that these rules are made so that more people can run, but in reality, when a lot of the guys have taken out passenger seats and carpets, well, that just kind of cuts down on the pariticipants, doesn't it a bit?

This is not a ******** post, this is striaght forward. Problem, suggestion, and example to back it up. Do you need more? Or am I not clear enough?
