The following was posted on Mazda racers today, its not the full post go there to see it, but what is interesting is a concept that may just propose a resolution that many people could get behind to move on. Take a look 1. Stick with the existing plunge cut rule and weights. Tweak if needed to address standard machine shop cleanup procedures – but no allowance for blend. No weight penalty for following existing rules. (Don’t penalize people who faithfully followed the rules set 4 years ago). 2. If someone wants to run a junk yard head, their choice, but they don’t get a performance benefit via weight offset. Ie. They run the same weight as legal plunge cut heads. (Kill the proposal which will lead to an expensive race to cherry pick great stock heads and result in compromised parity) 3. Evaluate gains from modest STR blends - defining a modest blend and measurement - and add weight to equalize performance if shown from SCCA testing to be needed. Add an additional 15 pounds as penalty weight (above any legitimate equalizing weight) to move people to the current legal rule. This allowance has a sunset of 1 year, thus 2015 only. (Lots of people got caught up in this thing and this allows them time to transition, but at a modest performance price – thus keeping participation high and competition fair) 4. Anyone outside of a defined modest blend is out of luck. (You cheat you pay). Finally take some money and apply it to a more structured compliance set of testing nation wide – preferably with factory trained Mazda support.
