Looks like it made it into the final draft. Approved by the BOD at the Oct meeting and noted in the December newsletter.

(Page 6) ITEM 10)
Change 13.7: 13.7 ANTI-ROLL (SWAY) BARS
A. Substitution, addition, or removal of a single anti-roll bar and supporting hardware (brackets, end links, bushings, etc.) is permitted.
B. Substitution, addition, or removal of an anti-roll bar may serve no other purpose than that of an anti-roll bar.
C. The use of any bushing material is permitted. A bushing may be implemented as a bearing.
D. No modification to the body, frame, or other components to accommodate anti-roll bar addition or substitution is allowed except for the drilling of holes for mounting bolts. Non-standard lateral members which connect between the brackets for the bar are not permitted.
Comment: The origin of Stock sway bar rule was an allowance to improve vehicle dynamics at a time when sway bars
were not commonplace in new cars, and RWD was the most common layout in the automobile industry. FWD and AWD
are common today, and throughout the years there have been comments pointing out that FWD cars would benefit
more from a rear sway bar change. In an effort to broaden the field of competitive vehicles across the entire range
of the Stock classes, the SAC would like to introduce the option of changing or adding the front OR rear sway bar.
The committee believes this promotes the core values of the club by increasing participation with broader choices of
competitive models, improved tire wear and improved handling for specific vehicle drive trains.
