The rules for the vehicles were posted Jan 12, 2011 have not changed. I have been forced to clarify the rules. I assumed you understood that carrying groceries needed to be upright and accessible. The bagboy at Safeway understands that. For some Challengers, carrying 4 bags of groceries upright had been clarified. Accelerating and coasting? I never imagined anybody thinking that accelerating and coasting would be normal driving. You may drive that way all you want, but you may not win a Vetter Challenge. If it was just a leader and me in a Challenge, with one Challenger in between, you would not be able to "pulse and glide" because there would be no room. You would have dropped behind me in about 2 seconds and eliminating yourself from winning. Thus, you have forced me to clarify that rule, too.
The last thing I want to do is change the rules as we all need a fixed target to be building to.
The goals have not changed. The spirit has not changed. Challengers have forced me to clarify the rules. Otherwise, the rules have not changed.
I think it is important to keep the spirit at the forefront of our goals and not get lost in details.
