I'll fill in for Jason, since we're both engineers who raced S/G in the old days and think similarly

When I brought up the subject of eliminating throttle stop timers last year, people were calling for my head and the thread was locked down. I still think it would be in the best interest of the class to get the costs back down and the spectator appeal back up. In the late 80's and early 90's, many spectators stuck around to watch us even at national events. Somewhere I have some photos of me racing at Seattle and Sonoma, with packed grandstands.

From very limited sample size (I've only been to a few points meets in the last few years) it does appear that TS & TD are growning while SC/SG/SST are shrinking.

If I could afford it I would probably build a TS car, but I still do enjoy the pro tree, heads-up aspect of S/G.
