Yes, there are a fair number of rule changes that we will have to work with.

I'm not sure Magnum, PU will be running with Chump Car again. The demolition derby fest at VIR caused us enough grief and their rule set gets more an more insane all the time. Maybe if John Condren left I'd consider going back.

I guess you've never read their entire rule book. It's like War and Peace compared to Lemons.

Now granted, a few of those MIGHT be limited to E36's but their writing is so poor, its hard to tell.

No excess lighting is crazy.

The lighting will be expensive if we choose to stay with HID's... Stupid since I like the spirit of chumpy hella's with cheap ebay hid's... True HID's would be fairly expensive.

Most of the other rules we are already ready for with exception of the fire system.

Lightening. Not lighting or lightning. I guess they don't want people taking a hole saw to everything.

10 hours of South Course sounds pretty bad.

They should not allow removal of ANY body panel, especially the whole damn roof, IMO. Also that rule, as written, is REALLY subjective.

Started to read through this a bit, and I've come to a shocking conclusion. It sounds like they don't want 24 hours of Chump Car racing, they want 24 hours of Chump Car tech inspection and documentation.

With a splash of how easy is it to fake a Craigslist ad...
