First off guys, I honestly did not realize my brakes were illegal. I just didn't think to check that because they're STX legal. I'm gonna have to think long and hard about whether or not I'll take them off or stay in SM. I'd probably do it, except going back to stock rotors and calipers will pretty much make my car not trackworthy. Right now, I'm leaning towards staying in SM because of this.

The subframe locks may or may not be legal, but if I decide to stay in SP I'll take them out.

The flywheel is legal; discovering that it isn't illegal is what prompted my switch to SP in the first place. All along I had thought it wasn't. 15.10.N: "Any clutch assembly, metal flywheel, or metal torque converter... may be used." Reading that rule last week while researching SP for someone else is what made me think I could run there.

Regarding the ALK, I obviously knew full well it was illegal. However, as Aaron said, after discovering I was competitive, I took steps to get rid of it. I'll be getting rid of it regardless, because competitive or not I would one day like to be. I appreciate you all allowing me the luxury of running the one event weekend with it before seeing if I am competitive.

Since the combination of the ALK and 4 pots probably did give me an unfair competitive advantage, and I beat some of you by such a small margin, please reclass this weekend's results for me in TSM. I'll let you know in advance of Winnemucca if I'll be removing the brakes or not.

Again, all of you, I truly apologize for this. I had no intention of breaking rules. I'd rather get my ass kicked every week than cheat.
