You are going to have to move to a mod class now. No more stock for you.
Get well and come back soon.

I don't know, update/backdate rules apply in SP. And in SM you can start using aftermarket suspension pieces. I don't think he has to go all the way to mod classes.

Uncomplicated hip job is usually very good prognosis. Not much fun in the moment, though.
All my best to ya, George.

wait, so you're saying if he were to have had Joey's hip installed (i assume they're on the same line) then he would still be SP legal due to update/backdate but the fact that it's an aftermarket suspension part that he's in SM now?
although you could probably make a good case that he only upgraded his hip bushing which would be SP legal assuming he didn't increase the amount of metal over what was originally present. They didn't by chance make that hip replacement out of delrin did they George?

I think it might be lighter than the stock part if it's one of the titanium models.

My concern with SM is that may have modified the attachment points....
But I should shut up since they recontoured my AC joint in the shoulder surgery.

Why do I get the feeling the kind of messages George would like to receive wouldn't be appropriate for nurses to be printing out and delivering..
