There has been a lot of misinformation put around regarding the
exclusion of the 4 tractors at the EC2016 at Great Eccleston this last
weekend.
We as ETPC feel that due to the sensitivity of this subject that a full
statement is issued relating to the rule regarding cylinder heads in the
Prostock class.
Please read the attached statement and ALL the supporting information so
that you are then well informed on the complete picture regarding the
challenges made to the intended 'ethos' of the Prostock class regarding
the use of 'production stock' parts.
This topic did not start one week before the EC2016, it started back in
June 2015 and various amendments to the same rule (not a new rule as has
been quoted) under 'clarification of meaning' have been made.
ETPC will always work towards enforcing the rules as currently written,
without exception, to ensure a fair competition for all teams and
tractors.
If tractors fall outside of the current rules and cannot prove the
legality of the tractor according to the rules then suspension or
exclusion from competition will be enforced.
As ETPC has stated on many occasions if rules want to be changed then
proposals to do this should be submitted in the normal way via their
national ETPC representatives to be included on voting lists for the
member countries.
We trust to have informed you fully on this matter.
Best regards
Kenneth Dahl
