OK, just tossing out something for your consideration and discussion. I am not exactly a protrusion rule fan, but the idea seems to be gathering steam in some areas.
I am already seeing variations on the protrude rule between Scheid / TS and say for example BOB and COTPC. Some of these are not set in stone yet.
I'm just going to ask / propose that if protrusion is the goal, can we at least have some consensus on how to do that? Like for example, would everyone have a cow if we said the SDX 2010 rules are the "standard"?
There are a million ways to skin a cat. But there seems to be no reason why Group A has to have protrusion with their interpretation of it, and Group B has something similar but not exactly the same. So a guy legal with A cannot pull with B without some slight change in the cover. That's just money spent for no damn good reason.
I just don't think we need to have different covers and/or wheels to go pulling in neighboring states. What is the point of that?
We need to keep folks on the same page and strive for unity in the sport. A number of groups all want to pull back the power in 2.6. That's fine. To have everyone doing it "their own way" seems entirely wasteful and takes us back to the days of exclusionary rules made to keep certain trucks out of certain areas. That's BS of the highest order.
Secondly, how about trying to run ONE set of protrusion rules for a minimum of 2 years?
I just think we're spinning our wheels and going backwards if the Protrusion movement doesn't go for some level of unification.
Discuss.
