example ,if someone finds a massive performance improvement within the rules the default position is prohibit or ban never ,make everyone adopt it so you can all go quicker.
Alan, surely it's the other way round, those who find massive improvement are tinkerers and checkbook racers, not fast drivers.
Fast drivers are rewarded by club classes were all cars are equal and their superior driving skills can make the difference.
To try and avoid that we adopted a "If it's not expressly allowed then you can't do it rule".
It doesn't stop all the hanky panky, but it eliminates the "It doesn't say I can't" smart*ss type answer and helps keep the rules shorter.
To me, the ideal mix is 4 club, 4 standard and 4 modified classes; 6 on first past the post and 6 on distance travelled.
Equally important is that the classes should have different speed and different on track behaviour an XK120 should not lap as fast as a group C.
As for the catch all rule for lazy people, I am all for it, the lazier the better. Why have pages and pages of rules and permanent arguments when it can all be stopped in 1 sentence?

PS: Alan, out of curiosity, how many sets of rules have you drawn up?
Hand out tyres are a great leveller (entire championships are run with handout tyres), but don't me started on the rumours that some people sneak in their own "ready prepared" tyres just to get a competitive advantage. As a matter of fact scrutineering at SSRC is so poor, it might as well be stopped.
