We all have some rules to follow, however just because I don't need traction 
control doesn't mean if you think it would make you faster or safer I don't 
want you to have it. I just don't really see the need, some of us are not 
allowed different spoilers or some other item that's sure to make us better 
but we have to work within the rules. I think that's what brings us to this 
sport. Lots of us have raced in organized motorsports and we come here for a 
reason. Now safety is an issue but I bet my last dollar if someone like Earl 
Wooden thought that traction control was keeping him from his goal it 
wouldn't be there.
