These are good changes.  We all already bought all the cockpit adjutable stuff, might as well let us run it and I think it makes for a better show for sure.  The tether system is not a horible idea either, last thing we need is for something to get into the grandstands and hurt someone so ok.  Got to do it.  Not sure who is NOT running a full containment seat already so that's just a notation to the rules, no big deal there.  

I would like to see us continue down the road of comonality.  USAC CRA, USAC West Coast, USAC Southwest...  wouldn't it be something if we could get all the best drivers and teams from these clubs all in the same place a few times per year.  SW is on board, allowing the 410 motors is great for us; and since a 360 motor is a hand grenade with the pin pulled I don't think there will be a lot of negative talk. Especially with the tire rules we have.  Twisting a 360 motore like we do to pull the RR tires we are running is crazyness.  

It would be very easy to take the next leap of faith and allow 410 motors in all series, while at the same time allowing 360 motors to be unrestricted or open motors.  Phoenix and LA are six hours apart right, Nor Cal is further away from Riverside than that, so we would still maintain the distiinction between the 3 series no problem.  USAC you are right there, just do it.  It will make you cool trust me.
