I think the suggestions of 'changing the rules" or a "weight penalty/break' have all been done in the context of a regional gentlemans agreement or a race withing a race or that sort of thing. I might have failed to (re) mention that in my references, but I don't recall reading any serious suggestions to just change the National set of rules.
Now, it might have been discussed in blue sky terms like "Hmm, well IF you could figure out a standard deviation, and IF you could correlate that to weight then theoretically the ITAC COULD have a weight factor...." or the like.
The point is that expenses soared when the R tire that lasts maybe 10 cycles became the 'must have'.
It's too bad because it's such a waste of time and resources, not JUST money.
