Guys

The way I sees it "we" have to walk a tight rope between Nascar and Barny
Oldfield.without ever admitting it!

Dan - I wouldn't begin to suggest that a definition like mine be made part of
the rulebook. B That's what we have vehicle type committees for. B These are
the
folks who are best equipped to deal with the minutia of production vehicle
modifications and get competitors in their category all on the same page. B It
helps the committee chair to have a definitive answer to such a question
rather than be an arbitrary judge (I know a cowl when I see it)
That's the best way to keep the incidence of protests down low. B Which I like
to think is what everybody wants.
About cowls...... We all know what a cowl is on a Model A roadster. B At least
if we have gray hairs. B So where is the cowl on a Porsche? B I don't even
have
an answer for that.
Over the years there have been many questions and discussions about roadster
cowls. B When I had a question that wasn't answered by the rule book I went to
Russ Eyers and got a good authoritative answer. B That method worked great.
What we don't need is a rule book that's a thousand pages long. B Small enough
to fit in my back pocket is just fine. B Even if it's a little tight in there
that's OK as long as the extra volume is devoted to advertisements from our
sport's supporters.

B B Mayf - I think you'll want to pose your question to Jon Meyer, the
committee
B B chair for GT/Modified Sports Classes. Contact info on pg 182 of the 2013
B B rulebook.
