Is anyone here capable of hacking in to the MSA computer?... If so, do us a favor and make a few amendments...
- no mudguards needed
- no noise limit
- no tyre restrictions
- no limit to exhaust height
- exhausts do not have to point down
If someone could do that for me that'd be grand...
cheers

The exhaust ones aren't MSA rules, they are AWDC rules. If you're an AWDC member then get them to change their rules.
Tyre restrictions will get looser as time goes by, this is the first year the list has been in effect for Cross Country events and although the list was passed around a lot of people beforehand it's inevitable that some will have been missed off.
Noise limit is a product of one of the environment acts. If you don't have a noise limit and a complaint is made about the noise the organisers have no way of showing that they took the necessary steps to comply with the legislation. Some of the sites we use now have noise limits imposed on them by the planning authority too.
Mudguards, I'm led to believe, are going to be "looked at" as it's a rule inherited from other forms of motor sport and is less relevant to us, especially in events where speed isn't particularly involved. For this year, at least, you'll have to tie a piece of strategically placed rubber to it though.
