This comes into play because there is no "oh by the way" rule from USGT that says except where Can/Am motors are being used. Who knows if the motor supplier has dumped all of his unsellable "cheater" motors on Can/Am since it shouldn't matter if they are all out of "spec" since everyone is using one and no advantage or disadvantage should be noted. This brings us back to the points deal. If I am at a USGT event being run by straight up USGT rules and score National points while someone else attends a USGT event that is being run with Can/Am motors and that someone out scores me using a motor that hasn't been teched to insure legality by USGT rules despite the fact that the motors were all the same then the potential arises for significant conflict especially if it alters the National point standings and affects a possible year end award or standing. If the powers that be at USGT jump in with an oh by the way clause then the afore mentioned flack becomes their Albatross.

Since true USGT racing already is frequently decided by driving and set up skills, attempting to force everyone into a box just to justify questionable interference sounds, well, a little, I'm sorry but I can't directly answer that because political comments aren't allowed here.

Its based on your race event stats ... Not your max speed or rpm or fdr or accelerstion ... Just off your finishing position only ... So if your/their running a cheater "roar legal" trinity big wire motor and get first then go to a can AM event and only get 3rd your going to bitch thats the bottom line of the argument for these guys right ? I understand iic not being included in the points ... Its a expensive race to attend ... And that class is heavily regulated motor /fdr/esc/body /weight.... Where can AM is only a motor/fdr thing ...
