Mike, I have two issues I wish we could handle.
1) as you say the cost of the motor.- What if everyone HAD to use a $10,000 motor.
answer- a cheaper class where people could escape the $30,000 motors and still be even in opportunity to win class.
2) place where if it became popular enough it might show up heads up at local racing, divisional or even National events for the theory of budget limited people. The opposite of SS/AH, but same fun for the racers...
I had thought as Randy that running the eliminator is still possible in the Mod classes with a basic spare parts motor for fun but "Heads Up Class" racing seems to be so Factoring limited it is truly purchased by the latest car buyer...finding the "rocket". Costly yearly issues.....
Maybe a new class isn't needed. Maybe a head change in rules for Spec head would not upset some guys running one of the mod classes at this point. It could solve some problems of parts breakage or scarcity.
