[s-cars] Worthy projects (was Alum..was UrS $)

Agreed, thats a lame argument. Especially since I've read the NASA  
rules and the rule book very specifically allows for variances in the  
dyno. If you came up just a few over then you really came up WAY over  
considering the tolerances allowed!!!

I actually made sure to read the rules **AND** abide by them. Just got  
back from the NASA Nationals and when my car came up border line I  
went ahead and moved up a class to take out any risk...and we still  
finished 3rd!
