The difference between now and then Danny is that now those rules have been voted in by our members, whereas you just snuck it under the radar for the unfair advantage (hence the process of closing any other rule loop holes at the subsequent EGM's).
If anything you helped us a lot; before you entered the 2WD class with your Shark we trusted that our rules were sufficient and that racers would enter into the spirit of the competition. After that round at Leighton Buzzard I realised that there are bad apples out there and that we needed to plug any gaps before they got taken advantage of again (hence all the rule changes the following EGM).
Cant be too bad though, our numbers have pretty much doubled since you lot left us so I aint complaining, joke or not
PS: Next time I see you I'll buy you a pint. Our rules are as tight as a ducks arse now and my life is a lot easier for it each National
