It is very interesting that this discussion has surfaced again!

Randy, there is no way to get it passed before 2007. However, a CD can change the rules if it is published prior to the competition beginning. This is actually how we used the APC prop before it was approved.

All I have to say is why? Randy, you certainly, don't need to go any faster nor does anyone running the plastic. The fastest I have ever gone was with a plastic prop (1:00:??). I don't feel a bigger selection is necessary. In terms of different parts of the country running different props, so be it, do it on a local level to suit your needs. That doesn't mean that those props will work in muncie. And if they do what did we accomplish? What are the means to the end of creating new props? Are we trying to go faster? Are we trying to be more competitive? What would we be accomplishing by having a larger selection?

Take this statement for what it is worth, I am flying wood props because I can. However, if the plastic props worked with my set-up, I would be running plastic. There are things I can change with wood, that you cannot change with plastic legally. That is where the advantage lies. I don't think wood props are vodoo magic. It just seems that people are not willing to spend the time to figure out how to make it work. The names listed previously, DelPonte, Scott, Ullinger and one forgotten Grunk (not at the nats but Mr. Wood). These are the people willing to devote time and energy to finding the right combination. Take the time to figure out what to do!
