In case your wondering, the Petition is still going strong. It has let up since the racing has started back, but It is still around 1890. The number is important, in fact, I am going to send a follow up reply when it reaches 2000 just to keep it on the front burner. What if feel is more important than the numbers are the comments. I made it a point to reach each and every comment. I feel very appreciative of those who left comments, and I will try and consolidate these when I make a follow up with the AMA. I didn't make a category for all the comments (Most of them were BRAAAAP
) so I divided them into the most common ones:
Number of Comments - 629 out of 1890 signatures
Two Strokes and Rule Change Good for the Sport - 114 or 18%
Cheaper to Maintain and more Economical - 163 or 26%
Equal Displacements - 68 or 11%
Less Sound Problems - 14 or 2%
Displacement of 200 and 400 for 2-strokes - 7 or 1%
Displacement of 175 and 350 for 2-strokes - 9 or 1%
Rule Change would benefit privateers - 36 or 6%
Would provide an Option for racers - 20 or 3%
That totals out to 431 replies out of 629, so 198 replies did not fall into these categories. I wish I could get all these replies in front of the AMA. I was very encouraged and determined after reading them.
I will keep you posted on the progress.
Thanks for all you've done. Everyone has really gone the extra mile for this.
