turbogrill Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi Is there a way to only show the differences between the 2016 and 2017 rules? I don't want to manually compare the two, seems like it is easy to miss something that way. The 2017 BCR changelog only show changes from previous 2017 rules, not from 2016 (that is the interesting part) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) There is a huge amount which changed from 2016 to 2017... it is several pages shorter... sections have moved... the car points table has been moved to a separate document... etc. etc. Honestly, your time would be better spent reading through the 2017 rules very carefully, 3 times, rather than trying to compare the two documents. [edit] - and to directly answer your actual question, I don't know of any way to show the differences, and I doubt anyone documented all the specific changes.

turbogrill Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ok thanks. I know there has been a lot of changes for values and swaps, that doesn't really matter for me. Just want to make sure there is no changes to safety that might cause tech inspection to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachMK21 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 As stated, there were a huge amount of changes from 2016 to 2017. But, @turbogrill's suggestion to have a change log is valid. I think it would be a good idea going forward to have such a record of changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Strong has already started this and has a procedure in place.. look at page 2: https://chumpcar.com/downloads/2017ChumpCarBCCR.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It automatically began shorter when they removed the value tables. And there are plenty of ways to run a diff on the two documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To help out the OP, could you share one of those ways to run a diff on the two documents or are you just going from thread to thread looking for ways to betch and complain?

morganf Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 The rules were reorganized and reformatted, a diff of the two would just turn up with one document being all red. Once again just read the new rules they are not that long and you can even skip the cage section if you already have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
