Can't Beat them? Ban them!!

Thats the way it looks to be heading with the ALMS. They have added weight penalties to the R-10 and now have allowed the R-10's competitors larger fuel tanks.

So while not banned, it seems the other guys get considerations bacause they were sleeping from a technology standpoint.

This pisses me off so much because in 1993 when Mazda was the 1st Japanese car company to win the 24 hours they were banned.

ALMS also banned them from the road races the likes of Jim Downing and Roger Mandaville were basically shut down.

Anybody remember the big 3 getting the Miller banned from the Indy 500 many moons ago because they could not compete?

Bah!!!
