I can't wait until the region has it's solo driving school. I know that I can get faster with additional instruction and seat time.. 
BTY, if you go to a Regional or National event, and win, you can expect a protest coming your way for not having a stock grill on your car. That is just part of the game. live or die by the rules. Of course if you loose.. no one cares.  |
I realize that -- the same way I could protest the decorative trim rings on your dash and armrests.
Both, I believe, would be frivolous protests as all of the items we're talking about are "decorative" in nature and weigh next to nothing. That's why I think that removing the grille is within the framework of the rules and is not a protest that event officials would even entertain. How could removal of a 6-ounce plastic grille reasonably be viewed as a performance advantage?
