I do not believe you will have to worry about this as the impression I got from speaking with Bob is that they still want to keep this a low budget class and one director had already objected to just the costs associated with pucks. I can see what the reaction would be to a proposal to go to spring/shock combinations...

I think we already went through this but.... A inexpensive oil/spring shock is about the same price or less that the current puck/shock assemble. And ANY oil dampened shock would be better than none.

OK, I'm just a newbie here that doesn't even have an F500 yet, but
I'll throw in my $0.000002 just because this gets at _why_ I'm a
newbie here.  I'm coming from stock class autox to F500/club racing,
and I have to say that the 2nd* most frustrating thing about running
stock class autox is the price of the shocks you need to be
competitive: about $3500.  Thats why I co-drove at Nationals, rather
than take my own car.

If any shock rule is going to get proposed, they've _got_ to do better
than they have for the solo2 stock rules.

* #1 most frustrating is that you need a new car every 2-3 years. :P
