I haven't seen anything from Ron U.S.M.C in maybe a few years. Hope all is well

Maybe in the future it needs to be a rule that they nominated person should have been active in the last ??? months.

Most likely we will not get a detailed description of the car or history of the car.

That is the part I like reading on COTM.

Just my $0.02

Agreed. I reached out via PM some time back, but never received a reply.

StevenB L98/LS1

The car is a 89 Formula with an LS1 swap from 01 camaro. Stock with bolt ons with a Harwood hood. I've owned the car for 5 years, still has a 9 bolt 3.27 gears in the back, LS1 front brake upgrade and stock disc brakes in the back as well welded Umi boxed subframe under the car. Don't plan on touching the car its great to just have fun with it at the dragstrip or going to car shows with it. I'm no stranger to original stock third gens I owned 4 stock third gens before this one so it was a nice change up to go the modified route.

No rules needed. It is the role of COTM Editor to identify and iron out these issues prior to voting. Can be done knocking door to door, structuring the event so non-active users are unlikely to be nominated, and even make substitutions if necessary.

i do reach out to each nominated member via PM before each and every month's voting goes live. it is a balance in terms of trying to run this monthly and have everyone nominated "responsive"... so far the vast majority of nominees have been responsive as COTM is a great recognition

Yep, sometimes it just doesn't work out. I had that experience too. That's when I threw in substitutions from past players. It made their day too!
