Greg, I kinda like your idea, but I'd vote for bringing back the FI classes and combining sticks/autos. Then the newer cars can battle it out amongst themselves and we’d have more cars in each class. It is hard for a guy to want to spend big bucks to find .05 in a 40 year old engine when the guy with the newer car can turn a screw and pick up .50. It really takes all the fun out of class racing. Hidalgo told me last year when I was icing my car for a race with Teuton…”should have saved the ice for the beer”… Boy, he was right!
