Ed,
It would be interesting to see how many ACTIVE stick racers there are per division and per races completed in a season. This could be by divisional as not everyone competes at the national level. There seems to be a fair share of stick cars in S/SS at most D5 races that I have attended. How does that stack up with other divisions? Car count vs % of stick cars competing would be cool.

As for a stick car race, if you are the guy putting forth the effort I would say put it in your backyard and screw anyone that does not understand why it needs to be somewhere else. You cannot and will not please everyone. I would not be a very good promoter!! Those of us in the area I believe would support you if you chose to persue having something.

Thanks again Ed
Sean


To not derail this thread any further. I believe Mike Tailors post on shifting without a clutch nailed it, the T5 I had was not faceplated but every other syncro was removed. I never hurt the internal rail or shift forks. How light the base pressure is makes a difference between clutched vs clutchless shifting and CW will be different as well.
