[F500] Rubber Puck Rule Change Proposal

[Gil Osenburg]

Lou,

I concur !

The F5's have about as much suspension travel as an F1- about an inch !

Some of us are complaining about mixing it up with FF's at different tracks 
and then we see some of our guys  now putting the whip on 'em !

Go figure !
