"Spare Parts" Rules Are Broken

Thats my problem with looking at the rules with common sense and using gracious professionalism.

This thread has shown that the rules need to be defined further. You could even say more lawyer-like. Otherwise teams will just bend them... to the point where they are swapping upgraded mechanisms (the purpose of this thread).

I don't you about you guys, but I'm starting to feel like following gracious professionalism is like having walk all over me stamped on my chest. Since I follow the GP mind set, I'll just smile and wait for another team to do it.


BTW: Yes, we did bring our spare wheel to BAE dissasembled. Hub, tube, and wheel.


EDIT:

can you honestly go to them, look them in the face, and then tell them that they have to disassemble their treads and put them back together?

No, I would tell them they can use their pre-assembled, non-component treads. I will know that they would like to violate the rules, and I will let them violate the rules because that's what GP is about... right?
