its only 1% because i dont want to make it a penalty for the many people that change tires to save money (heat cycles) on their r-tires. ill change the other text. there's no perfect solution with th
I applaud you for thinking out of the box. The idea has merit, but I'm afraid it has some significant flaws: Any rule that cannot be enforced is not worth the paper it's written on (or the html tag

Hey I have a better idea. Since I am an out of work Dot Goner perhaps I can rent out my services to drive peoples "street" car for them to rack up the milage needed to be eligable for the series? =)
note: there is no minimum mileage requirement. ill hire you to police the nearby lots for trailers though. hehe funded with my dot-gone stock options! :) -james
