A short continuation of my "VENT" before Indy !!

So are we saying that there is NO performance advantage to racing a stick over an automatic (or vice versa)? And after we "combine" all of the like-factored vehicles into one class, what do we do when a single vehicle does enter an event where Class Eliminations are being contested?

If the reason that the "Combo" programs were started was as Jeff said, to economize on the expenditures for trophies and contingencies payments, then how about a frame-able certificate for all of the regular class winners. Keep giving the "special classes" and Stock Eliminator winners the "Wally". And isn't a product purchase and usage required to collect a contingency payment from the Manufacturer? What does it matter how many cars are in a certain class if you're using and advertising a Manufacturer's product?

Why are we (they) complicating this?
