Hey Mikey, had a proposal for the gang in regards to a rule change for 2014. Wanted to get some others' feedback and make a suggestion.

Remove the +1 point for taking floormats and trunk junk out. We are required to do this anyway per track safety rules so why penalize everyone for it. It doesn't really affect the Mod class at all but it sort of sucks for street class because that one extra point could be another upgrade. The only reason anyone would put the tire and mats back in their car is if they were trying to stay under 8 points.

Take my car for example:

vq37 +3
Intake +1
Exhaust + 1
remove spare +1

That already puts me at 6 points which means I could do sways and 1-ways but not sways and 2 ways. It also means I could never add headers if I did sways and 1 ways. It also means I could never drop to NT1's/R888's/Etc.

I just can't see the point of this rule since it is already a track rule that everyone has to follow.

Chime in anyone.
