    One thing that didn't change but still makes me shake my head:

    "Disqualifications and suspensions due to driving penalties will result in zero points which may be dropped from the annual points total. Disqualifications and suspensions due to technical non-compliance will result in zero points which may not be dropped from the annual points total."


    Other rules changes make this more relevant to the Orange car since it can now get down below minimum weight where it couldn't before. Being one pound under weight on the scales is a non-droppable zero while punting, missing safety flags, etc. are droppable? I'm completely for 100% rules compliance but we still seem to be missing the boat on the punishment fitting the crime in many cases...

    6.2 Horsepower/Torque and Minimum Weight Decal
    All cars must display horsepower, torque, and minimum weight on a power/weight decal on the windshield.

    Heads up! I will be looking for these starting at MSRH! We got extra stickers @NOLA

    7.1 Allowed Modifications
    Other than those items specifically allowed by the rules, no other part or component may be modified, removed, or disabled. If there are any "questionable" or "gray" area modifications, the competitor shall contact the CMC Board of Directors for clarification before competition.

    Just wanna point out that this part hasn't changed

    Um, third gens too. +100lbs since 2009. I'm curious how much longer the "oh, you don't need 4pots, stock brakes will hold up just fine" agrument will hold up at this rate.

    You will be fine. At least until we switch to the new tires that are 3 seconds a lap faster. Then you're screwed...

    I think we are already at that point... the extra weight isn't going to help that is for sure and then new tires next year will require it. I am not too happy to see the big weight penalties.

    CMC racing is getting very close to that price/cost point where I say I am done.
