so, this has been hashed out again and again, but there is currently a rule change in the chca ballot for a 20 competitor limit.
now, i read the rules, and the rally cars are classified as a class with no direct rule distinction between awd and 2wd. the first indication of the difference between the two is in 902.F but it doesn't distinguish the two specifically as a class. later in the rules at 903.A and 903.C it talks about payout being split between the two but no mention of either being a separate class.
now, the wording in the rule book is very vague (tell me what "competition" means per the new rule change by defining it out of the rule book) so it could be interpreted by someone as to mean that 20 cars is 20 cars. in the past 20 cars was clarified through our stewards to mean 20 cars in awd and 20 in 2wd. given that we don't have any stewards or something currently, i don't know how to enterpret this rule, but i personally would vote no on it unless we had something like a confirmation saying that the two were different like what we had last year.
anyways, next year i would love to clarify some of the things in the book (like how recce penalties for speeding are only specified in rally) but for now, just thought i would bring it to peoples attention.
don't forget, 2 weeks from tonight is the chca meeting.
