If force builds a better mouse trap, let the individual teams decide. (Actually, most of the rumors have that tripple rail design coming out of a smaller known funny-car shop not affiliated with JFR- but that is another story for another time.)
Let Force and the Ford camp build the greatest and safest car on the planet. Let them use billions of dollars and all of the technology they can find. Do testing on materials, designs, etc. No one has the resources of Ford and JFR, but why would that matter? Let JFR build the latest and greatest, then let the teams decide when and how they will build them to catch up to JFR. But why make the Denshams, Worshams, Downings, and Hadmans, etc. of the world go back to square 1 because JFR wants to try something different?
It goes back to a religionists statement. Something like 'Don't burn their house down. Build a bigger house and invite them to move in.' But it appears that in the shuffle, the powers that be burned alot of houses down.
I really should wait two days to read all of the SFI specs before I spout off, but I do feel strongly about this.
