All these things limit money spent. That was our goal. Remember, it's the same for everyone. Again, if not interested, don't run it. But it might just be a hit locally, and again people can understand it. Something very few do today as spectators.

My reference was the comparison between the rules for stick and automatic cars.

Restricted clutches = restricted converters (Lock up converters for one, are not addressed)

How is it that a stick shift driver is required to make 4 clutch assisted shifts (Which I've done hundreds of times) and an automatic driver who needs to move a handle once or twice is allowed a chip-assisted auto air shifter? (Rolls eyes)

I realize your honorable intent here but in the end, or perhaps from day one an experienced racer with adequate funding will dominate this class and you'll be right back where you are today with a new, expensive heads up eliminator.
