  Right, then we'd have Pattern looking just like the Indy Racing League and NASCAR -- everyone driving the same thing, and all innovation is thoroughly stifled.  I grew up on USAC racing in the Midwest -- they ran Offenhauser 4-cylinder engines for a long time, until Ford and some of the other engine builders learned how to compete, then we were back to good variety and honest competition.  Then ole Tony George took over when Tony Hullman died, and single handedly destroyed that.  Now NASCAR has done the same thing -- take a body/chassis, put a sticker on it, and call it a "Ford" or whatever.
