That makes NO SENSE to me at all as far as the rules go since the Solo Events Board always, without fail, seems to claim
affordability as their most forceful driver of the rules in this class (i.e; setting the tread wear limits to 200, over the previous open/00 tread wear, $250.00 EACH + slick, no limits tire policy), and the disallowing of the majority of other costly mods, even if they do not effect performance all that much in an autocross scenario.
We all know that a custom built set of Penske dampers (EVEN IF just '2-way'!), or their equivalents, can run almost the new price of our whole car, so WHY give the wealthy, and well supported/sponsored that overt advantage??
It should just be any 'off the shelf', NOT re-valved, UNDER $2500.00 a set retail dampers allowed, IF NOT 'factory stock',
if they do not want to be hypocrites about the whole cost factor thing driving the rules!
