If they are so great and such a huge threat that it requires a rule change why have they not shot even one clean relay? Since this has never been done in F/TR is the threat "Really" there?

The way I see it this rule change is NOT about being "Fair" and having a "Level" playing field for all of the shooters of F/TR. It is about those wanting to change the rules having any advantage they can get over all of those shooters shooting F/TR, at least so in there eyes. That is were any exclusionary rule goes and its purpose in the first place to excluded something. In this case they are trying to exclude a problem only they see, and only they seem to be threatened by.

I think some of the opening comments in Darrels post from the link in my OP goes soem way to answering you..

"In my opinion, F-T/R branched off of F-Open for a reason; people wanted a 'limited' equipment version of the game, that wouldn't bankrupt them paying for new barrels 2-3x per year. Basically it would be something that would be more of a NASCAR, vs. the top fuel dragsters that F-Open trends towards."

"Now, with a new crop of *very* efficient 'uber-heavy' bullets coming on line (215 grain, 230 grain, etc.), the level playing field has developed a bit of a list..."

I realise that people POV with be determined by which touchline of the tilted playing field they happen to be stood on. I'm very much on the "limited" equipment/cost line. To not be gets away from the very reason why F-TR came about.
