Rulebook still says 1418g for foam tire classes and 1500g for rubber tire classes.

ROAR cannot just change the rules mid-season, however they can grant a deviation if the host event asks for it. I think that if this "test" goes well it will be approved by the ExComm for next year.

Regarding the Qual points if the host asks for a deviation that could happen also.

Not to mention that a lighter cars are more exciting to watch

Sean: I don't think anyone expects ROAR to change the rules mid-season, simply because of the massive upset it would cause.

Great thread topic! Also I really think the poll echos the majority of racers feelings. Driving a lead sled is bunk. who wants to pay $400 for a full carbon race kit only to have to buy $15 worth of lead to attach to the chassis?

Long live the type-R!
