Re: Raising the $3500 limit?
The limit is fine, especially as many teams find ways to hide cost, anyway. Nobody can seriously tell me that the machining cost on many sponsor made parts does not exceed that amount! But that is somewhat beside the point. We are incouraged to find inventive ways to deal with that, and we do. If there was no cap, many rich teams (ones that have more than $50K at hand) would most certainly spiral the cost up, leaving the majority of teams in the dust, and without a chance to win. That could easily lead to a sponsor draught, because many medium sponsors would not want to pump money into a team with the knowledge the team doesn't have a chance to win. Such cenario currently exists in Formula One, and utlimately threatens the survival of that sport.
I like it the way it is. It's more fun, anyway. IndyStef
