Having the option of a list of additional motors for more optional classes sounds exciting to me. That makes some cars more attractive that are currently restricted to a single production engine.
Thanks for the positive imput that isnt shown on here at all. Its a good entry level class that will attract possible local bracket racers to change their cars over to run, or attract a young up and comer to build and race a sportsman class without going broke looking for garbage castings.
