Rob has done a stellar job keeping the rules consistent all these years for all racers, from the beginner to advanced. I can only guess, After years of posts of why or why not, it can only be something about....

motor
motor companies
motor timing
gearing
diff's
spools
wires
rpm's
bodies
numbers
driver figures
tires
tire wear
tire inserts
wheels
chassis
chassis setups
driving
practice
carpet
asphalt

Did I miss anything???
