Hi Andy,
I'm not Bob, but I'll take a stab at answering your question. ROAR established a BL Motor Manufacturers' Committee before the deliberation over the BL Spec rules that were established earlier this year. All manufacturers and resellers of brushless motors, who were interested in offering motors for ROAR-style racing, were invited to join.
This committee consisted of reps from most of the major companies (including CC and Tekin), whether or not they were currently offering BL motors for sale. It was this group of companies, not Bob alone, who voted on the decision about the specifications for the stock/spec BL motor that were later accepted by ROAR.
Once the spec rules were finalized, the companies were more comfortable in committing resources to tooling up their own BL motors that conformed to the criteria established for stock brushless motors. Here is the list of motors (companies) submitted to ROAR for approval:
ROAR Brushless Motor Approvals
Any motor company, that wishes to have the BL committee consider a change to the existing rules, must submit a formal proposal to ROAR to be debated by this standing group of manufacturers.

This is bad for the sport and frankly makes ROAR look bad which explains the decline of ROAR and of on-road racing. the current spec is dated and smacks totally of protecting Novak - not the sport.
