bureaucratic org/Weight Question

[Thomas C. Weedon]

Buddy,
I'll look through my stuff and see if I can find the tally you're looking
for. However, the class with the most responce was the Masters class. Very
few Sportsman Class people replied. The best that I can remember, the vote
was against an increase in weight by all classes.

  I am aware of the vote and would like to obtain information as to the make
up of the votes by class. I have requested this but the person that I
requested it from doesn't have time to extract it, so I guess I will have to
go on my merry way without it. Just trying to figure out for myself where
the interest is centered by class versus contest participation. and if
anyone had personally submitted a rule change request to AMA to change the
weight rule.I assure you and everyone that my motives are honorable, not
trying to promote controversy .

  Buddy

Has anyone submitted a weight change personally? I also think it would
enlightening to know,since the vote margin was close. How many votes For and
Against the weight change came from each individual Class? But I don't
expect that information will be made available.
