I can't wait for Charlie to do it anymore and someone's gotta do it...
Who loves the internet???
Ah, I feel much better now
Simple solution- "Stock" classes run commercially available gear, nuff said. If someone like Tekin, Losi, Speedpassion, etc want to offer their customers new profiles for their existing products then I say that's fair game.
The thing that has gotten lost is that Modified isn't Modified. It's officially called "Open Modified". That's where prototypes should be run. However I have no doubt that Frank and the CRC boys presented their gear to the IIC tech guys, Jamie, Scotty and the crew made a decision and they stuck to it. Congrats to Brian and the CRC crew for (gasp) winning within the rules as they were at the event.
