It mentions nothing about you MUST, or ONLY etc. This rule is either intended as the way I've just put it (to inform) or horribly worded and therefore invalid.
I'll run a coke bottle at the next round to prove the point

ok i will correct you. your wrong

. maybe?. i am not sure why you could not run a "coke bottle" style shell, i am all for innovation and trying different theories on shell aerodynamics. however as i read it you must use a commercially available shell. you are correct it is a bit "wooly" in its wording and i am sure an amendment may be on the cards if that is the case.
will try to find out why you could not use a development shell of your own design at an event, which is really the only place your going to find out if it works or not, providing the shell is in accordance with other rules reference holes etc i dont think we should be stifling development.
