I think this is the list of what we discussed about potential rules changes for 2017. Let's meet again to finalize our discussion of these issues at the Buttonwillow event ion April. So we can present our recommendation to the national director.

1. Move battery to passenger seat well. Enable us to use a standard sized battery, save costs. This will also assist in corner balancing of the car. It will also reduce the number of dead batteries and push starts during race weekends.

2. Allow more than 3" of extension to petals so that the seat can be moved back to touch the riverside rear seat well. This will allow for easier exit from car when door is open and the car has a halo seat. This will improve safety. This is an acute problem for tall drivers 6' or higher.

3. Address the weight difference between phone dial wheels and cookie cutter wheels, either allow lighter car that is using heavier phone dials or find alternative after market wheel with same weight as the cookie cutter, and offset as the phone dial. The cost of this wheel should be similar to cost of cookie cutter. Idea is to reduce the penalty of running phone dials which are needed for certain offset cars.

4. Allow for addition of reduction of weight to equalize cars that do not have the 138 HP specification if two HP over or more weight added and if 2 HP or more less weight minimum of 2600 is reduced. Idea is to try and equalize the cars.

5. Introduce a championship fund by having drivers contribute money at each race to the fund. The money collected would be used to help defer the cost of someone coming from back east to the west coast championship.

6. Drivers would contribute money at each race for a fund to be given to track workers at end of the season.
