With th no reverse rule applied (making the assumption that every reverse resulted in a 10 reposition instead);

Of the 173 Super courses run, 8 would have made it to the finish gate.

Of the 384 2.2 course run; 32 course would have been finished
-3 would have finished course 1
-28 would finish course 2
-no one would have finished course 3
-1 person would have finished course 4
-no ne would finish the final course

That would mean I drove 58 hours to complete one out of 8 courses. That does not seem like fun, I think if reverse is banned there needs to a change in the points sytem. (likely already being discussed)

I do not see how someone can compete at a local club with reverse and at a big event without. The two setups will require completely different driving styles.

You are correct. This new rule will be named the Rizzo rule

Im not a perfect driver, never will be. Sounds like the 2009 season could be a waste of my time.

I assume no reverses means your not allowed to save your rig from a roll over either??

I do have to say the Jaeger did set the mood though.

I plan to go and practice again tomorrow, I'll try to get video if my wife isn't busy.

It will show the difference of running while using the upcoming rule.

This is stupid.
