Cheers, Paul,
It was the 'note for clarity' in the regs that confused us, thanks, rung Roy already!

Are the Argentinian pistons approved or is the lack of compression ratio marks a problem?
They are quite cheap right now ;)

I see what you're saying about AGM attendance, Paul ;), as a non-member/mechanic I have to follow the desires of those that went regardless. I'm just surprised at the outcome on this after so much of the discussion on it seemed to be swinging towards eventually phasing modded heads out and generally trying to even things out.
I was worried that while there might not be an advantage right now, if some teams chose to spend loads on developing them, they may become an expensive necessity for everyone in the long run.

So, after months of suggestions that very expensive modified heads were likely to be out for 2010 (or at least by 2011), including a poll on here where 94.4% voted against even a transition year, they are now on.
Most rumours seemed to be hinting at a simpler, cheaper future and we were looking forward to it.
It seemed like common sense to keep costs down and tighten the racing up a bit.
What went wrong?
Are the regs on heads staying that way for 2011?

Is this sort of thing common?
