Why can't people accept it's a one off rule for Short Course?
Forget about the rest of the series etc...
This could go on with every series out there. As I represent RRCI in this series as a contributor, as do you Mark and a few other on this thread, I will be happy no matter what rules are enforced, whether they are the same as 1/10th, 1/8th, on or off road.
The idea is to get the series up and running first and have fun doing it. For god's sake it's the first National of it's kind in the UK, can't we just enjoy ourselves and if it gets stupidly popular next year, then we would be in a position to compromise and layout some fixed rules.
