2013 CMC rules are posted

[Al Fernandez]

in the usual locations...

[Pranav]

7.17.3 Engine, transmission, and rear axle may have vents or breathers substituted or added including
venting to a remote tank.

If I actually felt inclined/compelled to do it, does that mean I could slap my spare passenger side valve cover on the driver's side of my LT1 to gain the additional vent?

Now you guys are allowed to vent, OMG.

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...

Correction! They lost 50 and we gained 50! Nice!, and we lost 3/4 inch of track width!

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.
