June 27th 3rd of 3 "Working Group Meetings"

[Faron]

I am going to start this off by saying, today was nothing like we hoped. But in all honesty, its really okay.
The morning started off and it all felt like they were going to give the TxDMV Board of Directors something that we could all agree on. When we were all at lunch we all had a guarded but positive attitude towards the proposal that they planned to show the TxDMV Board, because of what was said over the morning. To be clear, they would not let us have a copy of the proposed rule changes, as it is their policy not to make them public until the Monday before the Thursday Board Meetings.
The changes they want to propose will only allow Full Chassis Dune Buggies. So that would mean no Shortened Chassis Dune Buggies, No Tube Chassis Cars, No Sandrails, and very few Kitcars would be able to receive a Registration. In short, the Assembled Vehicles Coalition all agree that we loose far more than we would gain with this proposal! If the Big Boys like Factory Five, and Gas Monkey were not taking notice before, they sure as hell should be NOW.
To close it felt a lot like they were trying to pave the way for us to work on this through Legislation. But before doing so they were trying to show that they tried to work with us, to TRY and cover their own necks so to speak.
