JB asked me today if we are going too have drivers in the crawl off. Since we haven't had comp since October. I didn't know what to tell him.

Post up your thoughts!

proposed rule change.
Rule now reads
after talking about this at nats and with local drivers I proposed we delete this rule as most everyone use's any movement of the tires in a reverse direction as a reverse anyways. this way we get more of the fair call from one judge to another.

 7.1.5.2 - Example: When high-centered, Reverse, forward, and then reverse again to rock the truck back and
forth will only result in one reverse penalty until forward progress is made.



I've found this happens time to time and I wanted to hear how others look at this. When we talked about this at nats I recall we decided it was really to hard to call and the call could easily change from one judge to another.

As i see it...... if the truck is rocking forward it's pretty much has to make forward progress, so when the tires go reverse it rocks back and it should be a reverse. I have not seen a truck that has not made some form or forward or reverse progress to me in this situation.

I'd like to see this rule changed somehow or better yet removed.

I think if the wheels move in reverse it should be a penlty.

so far everyone agrees with this and should be removed

 If by the slim slim chance we would ever goto a 2.2 shafty class if the 1.9 ever started to fade away what would you build one? would it matter if its a full body only or allow bodiless chassis?
