    i think you missed the point. Tom's point was that in Nascar, the ONLY advantage one racer has over the other is his ability to race. all the cars are mostly the same.

    in paintball, noobs that have no clue, are playing with the new angel mommy just bought them, while experienced players maybe can't afford the new PM6 and are settling with an ion.

    tom's pipe dream is to make paintball like nascar. where everyone is on a level playing field and individuals true skill and talent will stand out. he never claimed driving in nascar was easy.

    I am pretty sure I understood what Tom was saying about his point some time back. Glitzy colors on sponsored players running around in speedball like so many cars...etc. I think the point was lost on many others.

        I ponder, what is this technological edge you speak of within paintball?
        According to PSP rules which are used for many different leagues within the states, you may fire a max of 15.2 (15.4?) BPS ramping after/on the third pull. No runaway, no bounce....etc. So if all markers have to fall under those restrictions, and are checked almost every game by officials, what is this advantage you speak of?
        Check out this link and you will see what I'm talking about.



        Pleae note the NASCAR reference and the comments from Glenn Palmer.

        I guess when it comes down to it, semi-auto ONLY is the only way to go. Manufacturer's should build boards for their markers that are "tournament approved" (1 shot per complete pull of the trigger) that cannot be modified and only those boards should be allowed in tournaments. If they catch you with an aftermarket or modified board.. goodbye. That would be one way of achieving the goal of a completely level playing field.

            did I just flame you? I hope not.
            Heated arguements start flames, not so much in this thread but as a whole. flamed!
