Fuchs and LSDs are two seperate issues. The rules for these date back to 2002 and both were things that were discussed and agreed on back in those days.



I can give you the long history on both topics, but I will spare you all the borign details. Chuck & Eric have covered the major issues.


Now having driven for years with an open diff and won races and taken track records I can say with confidence you can still race and have fun win an open diff. It may not be ideal, but a solid driver will be fast with an open diff than a poor driver with an LSD.

Have you tried just outright selling the Fuchs? Not trading?

I tried the easy way first.
I'll take the advise from those that have been there, done that and polish and sell them instead. It's just a hassle to deal with shipping, paypal, etc.

I'll stop stirring things up on this subject, rules are rules for a reason.

But, has anyone considered allowing a short shift if you don't have a short fifth? just kidding.

I don't see it as "stirring the pot" these are good questions . As a person in leadership it's my job to inform all of the newer drivers on why we do it that way. Along the way we will make changes to the rules.

The LSD ... David Dirks has 2 championships in a row and he does not have a LSD. THAT said if we could get rid of LSD's we WOULD .

keep the input coming.

In my experience the Fuchs wheel is very rare and is very pricey, not to mention the added weight benefits. I don't think that this wheel should be allowed for the three traits I listed ($,Rarity, and weight). I have been able to find tons of phone dials for about 25-50 dollars a piece.

As far as not being able to sell them goes - it seems like your selling in the wrong place. Try PCA google groups, rennlist, pelican parts, POC mag, local PCA mag.

As for the LSD debate - It seems as though a few people are winning without them.... so it is not a neccesary item to win a race. Until it gives an unfair advantage to those who have them dont change the rule.
