Oh, Boy! Now you've opened a Pandora's box, Mark -- even though I do
agree with you. While we're at it, why don't we undo some of the other
Stock "allowances" and make the class even more Stock?!?!? Let's see --
we could do away with gumball tires and make it more like Street
Touring. Then we could restrict the use of high-dollar aftermarket

harness bars, weren't we?!?!? 8<{)
