Just thought I would try and clarify the reasoning behind the decisions that had been made etc. Firstly the motor rule actually has little to do with speed and more to do with cost. The idea being that if someone new does come along we can give them a definate idea of what to buy. Also with a 7.5 you will also be able to race quite competatively at the other clubs you may want to go to and eliminate having to have lots of different motors. As for the boost etc dont forget next years 8.5 will probably be quicker than this years 7.5 with the best cells etc so trying to make a rule based on that just wouldnt work. We would have to keep changing the rules etc and cost would go up.

The tyre rule in our opinion is just sensible for the club members. How can we dismiss a tyre that will last and work for about 3 months for a tyre that will last one night at best. Dont forget you can still come along and race with other tyres you just wont score points.

Now we appreciate that it is not a perfect solution for all but neither are the alternatives. We have been listening to all at the club who have expressed opinions etc and this is the best compromise we have come up with to balance things out for the majority.

I hope this goes someway to explain the reasoning behind it all etc
