============================
The main reason you'd never see me in a CM car is that you'd need a crane
nad large amounts of lubricant to get me back out of it. ;^) That and I
don't particularly fit into the "wine & cheese" crowd. :^P I'm more the
Tequila and Barley-pop kind of guy.

===========================
Are these due to choice or actual restrictions imposed by the rules? If
it's by choice then I don't want to hear any griping about the consequences.
Do the road race FF type cars run their 30 minute or longer races with just
a battery or do they run alternators? Radiators?
Even my screechy little Street Touring car has many compromises made in the
name of going faster that chap my hide on a daily basis. Ever tried driving
a car with massive camber and toe settings and 400+ pound springs 35 miles
to and from work each day on some of the most rutted and pot hole laden
pavement known to man? Well I do it every day. Can I change the car back
to factory "0" settings and make it ride much nicer on the streets? You
betcha. But since I choose not to do that I have to learn to live with the
consequences of my choices and keep both hands firmly planted on the wheel.
As I wrote earlier, I personally would never field a car that was incapable
of withstanding the rigors of the event including idling for extended
periods of time or multiple restarts. That's my choice. If someone else
chooses to make compromises in the name of going faster, then just please
don't expect sympathy from me.
As to the original question of holding Impound in grid after each heat at
the Nats, let's keep it as it's been in the past.
