Troublemaker that I am -- I sent the following to the Rules Committee at NMCA

- Full Name Dave Schultz
- Class A/FX expected for 2009
- NMCA Competition Number 7601
- Membership expiration date 12/31/08 - renewing for 2009


In 2.12b (Manual Transmissions A/FX-AAA/FX), my understanding was that maybe the Lenco controversy was to be addressed with the inclusion of the word "Planetary" when describing manual transmissions legal in A/FX-AAA/FX, & 2.13 (Purpose Built Manual Transmissions) specifically stating that "Lenco Type" of manual transmissions were prohibited. Also -- do you want to address the NMCA's position of one shifter lever for forward speeds vs. lightning rods in Nostalgia Super Stock?

I am one of many stick shift FX drivers who can look the other way while holding my nose at 5-speed and clutch-less for A/FX-AAA/FX -- really feel that Lencos and Lightning Rods really take away from the spirit of the class. I hope the rules committee will consider this point and slow down on rules changes outside the spirit of one of the few classes that should remain Nostalgic.
