Maybe I wasn't logged in...pretty split.
The hair-pulling high-heel kicking fight has spilled back over from the BMW section. Mayday. Save us all. We thought we had it contained.
SIR's have no place in IT. Give the bitch 300lbs, and be done with it.
Drag whoever imported the SIR over from GT-land out into the back forty, and beat them without mercy.
Some cars are 'uber-dogs'. Some are 'goober-dogs'. Just get over it. No more lectures about 'investment'. Nobody 'invests' in race cars. Srsly.

Who cares? the rule is in place the size is the question...Why must we keep polling?
To quote Warren Buffett, business/investing genius and the 'Oracle of Omaha':
"Public opinion polling is not a substitute for thought."
But...we're now faced with having to screw around with sizes in SIR's, after they've already been implemented for IT cars.
So...since there was no polling or apparent thought before-hand, now that they're implemented and people are actually having to 'test' the concept of SIR's (the 'thought' part), it's appropriate to have some polling going on.
Totally ass-backwards, but appropriate.

John, I completely agree the process may not have been right but we are here now and the date has been set. Why dick around with giving some false hope that a poll may change something. The time left should be spent figuring out how to make it work.

This was a poll started by an individual not associated with the ITAC or CRB. I think Ron just wanted to know what people thought on this site. Nothing more, nothing less.

The problem is this site not not necessarily reflect the feelings of the whole IT community. There are guys/girls out there trying to make a go of this rule and supporting them whould be far better than confusing them with a poll that is likely not to change the out come.
Andy -
My fear is that, without an appropriate amount of squawking, the CRB and the BOD will get the impression that implementing SIR's in IT is an acceptable idea, and it will quickly spread to other IT classes. IMO - "It isn't, and it shouldn't".
This has nothing to do with the technology, which probably works but obviously requires some diddling to get to 'parity'. Plain & simple: I have major philosophical problems with SIR's in IT. If somebody asks for an opinion, or conducts a poll, I'm going to squawk.
I don't believe that this is a 'settled' issue. At this point, it's pushed off in a dirty little corner of IT (BMW vs. ITS), but when the plague spreads, the villagers will be storming the castle with torches and pitchforks.
I've got my matches ready.

Joe,
You bolded what I wrote. I meant what I wrote. On this site. It was his poll, he can do with the info what he wants.
That decision is up to the CRB, write in and tell them you hate SIR's in IT.

C'mon John, get with the technology! Use a lighter, it's faster and you can fire up more torches that way!

Sure, IT.com aint the whole picture, but it IS a viable part of the equation, and if 100% of the people here think all racecars should have horns, I bet the rest of the world would agree.
Again, it's just a poll to see what people think. Results will, of course, be taken with a grain of salt.
