Don't be so preoccupied with the "letters" on the window.If the rules were equalized for everyone,they might fit in properly.All of the classes are determined by horsepower to weight.For example,

C/CM = AA/SA
E/CM = A/SA
F/CM = B/SA
G/CM = C/SA
H/CM = D/SA
I/CM = E/SA

You get the idea....

I am NOT saying that I would like all of these classes to be combined,but I do see a scenario where it could be possible to do.I know that some horsepower factors may need to be adjusted,but I am alot closer with my E/SA Olds to the I/CM cars,than I am to a lot of the E/SA cars that run in my division.Specifically a 315 horsepower rated 1971 Chevy 350.

I think the crate motor indexes may be a little soft,and I don't understand why they can run 10.5 inch tires,but CRATE MOTOR cars are NOT just "bracket" cars.
