And then you should immediately lick your eyebrows. Or at least smooth your cowboy 'stache with your tongue... (it's what I do) Parfois, on fait pas semblant! I am: I know: I am from: Nobody. Nothing. Nowhere. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/27/2013 12:33AM by Creech. |

In da UK........Having to cough up your hard earned cash to replace your seats and harnesses every 5 years (even if they have not been used) will save rally!!
You've got to admire the hypocrisy when the above does not apply to various other motorsport disciplines governed by the same sanctioning body.....I mean it is plainly obvious that competitors in sprints, hillclimbs, and circuit racing events don't have accidents where the seats and harnesses take any load unlike rallying. 
I tend to agree with Morten on all this BS. My helmet is no longer usable as the lining is only fire retardent. It now needs to be fireproof. Call me old fashioned but I would think by the time the inside of my helmet is on fire I would be beyond caring.......... Surely for the inside of my helmet to catch fire there would need to be a fire inside the car which the manadated fire extinguishers had not put out. This would mean a load of toxic smoke from the burning plastic dashboard........ Leading to a new rule requiring the manadatory wearing of BA sets. Disappointingly not yet a Jackass Edited 1 time(s).

Ok, so do. If it's sooooo awesome, do it. If you're convinced there's a big enough market, do it.
Ok, so 30 seconds in to this exercise, you're already back to kowtowing to the insurance people and the law.
And 45 seconds in, you've come up with the rules, so now you're the sanctioning body. More of less rules and a new offshore sanctioning will save rally!  Grassroots rally. It's what I think about. |

As an organiser I don't have a problem with TBA entries, it really helps in the planning stages of an event. I'd rather have TBA entries coming in than having people just show up at registration with absolutely zero notice they were coming. The assumption that these are 'secrets' rather than just being truly 'unknowns' is a bit misplaced I think. Admittedly, I've seen scenarios were entries were kept secret for one reason or another and I rarely understand the need for that secrecy.
