Why even think about using this setup there are a ton of reasons why not without a rule.

Actually, as Steven pointed out, I said they ARE legal. I probably know the rules better because I wrote (or at least plagiarized) most of them. This includes the brief equipment rules. The USCF equipment rules are overly complicated and participation inhibiting.

I'm glad Mark posted the link to the rules because I think we all take Mike Murrys word as law and it surprised me that Mike says that forward facing rear dropouts are forbidden on the track. I can't find anywhere in the rules where it states this. It doesn't address this in the equiptment section or in the section of rules specific to track racing. The USCF rulebooks (old guy talkin') were chock full of limitations and OBRA really impressses me with the simplicity of operations. These unwritten rules have me scratchin' my head though. Are there special glasses for reading the invisable ink or something?
no disrespect intended towards Mike Murry by this post. In fact, I say we take his word for law because he reads these rules through and through and most likely knows them better than ANY other OBRA affiliate. So actually, big props to Mike.
