I wouldn’t mind seeing that rule, wouldn’t hesitate to build some cars for those rules

Here is my opinion on the matter:
You add a class but don't change the class you have. What you are doing right now is working awesome. I think letting the gas tank protector in for all cars was a smart thing and more safety than anything. Plus allows for some Viola cars to come depending how they were built. Cradles and spindles are the two things everyone is scared to run against. The guys that have been coming to the shows you put on would be out for sure if full cradles were allowed and spindles in a light weld or open wire. If you add a class it would be really nice to make it comparable to a Brandon Dixon rule set or even a Toast rule set. Both sets are very close on there rules anyway. As far as the leaf spring convert goes I think if you are a guy who bought old iron you are going to be pissed that a $250 bubble wagon is going to ruin you day in just a few hits with his back end, but on the flip side I have a bubble wagon out back so I am ok with that happening. I think the open wire still stays you main class and would not change much on it if at all.
The biggest thing I do think needs to change is the tranny rule. Lately I have seen a lot of transmissions blow up, and honestly that is probably the scariest thing there is as a driver since you are sitting right next to it. I would say allow the transmission brace BUT the transmission has to be rubber mounted. This will allow a guys to run something to protect him a little bit and not have to rebuild trannys or find new cases all the time. Just allow the steel bell, steel tail and brace, but make it so they must be rubber mounted and cant be solid. I think you still let them have the floor board in. This to me is the only thing I propose.

This to me is the only thing I propose. I agree on the spindles and i can see your point on the leaf spring conversions plus that wouldn't effect most of us. I would like to see full cradles mainly for safety purposes since most shows make you cut firewall out. It also helps from braking your "high dollar" block. doesn't strengthen anything, and doesn't make or break a car, with no firewall it is pretty irrelevant

The only reason I say no full cradle is because I know the guys from millidgville and morrison will absolutely not want to run a class with full cradles and I don't want to see the car count go down.
