Ron has the right idea.. I think what draws most people is the "wild, wild, west" appeal of the RTT? events. Sign up, Show up and Run what you brung... I'm not really interested in a 20 page rule book telling me what type of seat belts or cage or tires i need. Until the RTTS, I always felt a roadcourse would be out of reach (mostly because of rules, regulations, track availabilty and $) What Bill has created is a series of events that allows guys like me (that tinker in their garage) to see what all that hard would has added up to... and something to look forward to improving... Will I win the next event I attend, Nope and I Don't care... everyone is out there to have fun... thats all I aim to accomplish. I don't want a trophy for the fastest car over 4000lbs, painted yellow, with a chevy 350. I like the rules now: 200 treadwear and don't be an ass. After that you could have 2,000hp.. who cares, if you are running a 200 treadwear tire and your a nice guy- go tear it up...
If you want more rules, you have options, look into NASA or the SCCA... I don't think it fair to start imposing thier rules on these events... thats when the techincal BS starts and the fun stops.
