Yes, S.E.
I'm still thinking about what we talked about a few years ago, more and more. I've got about 10 pages of word documents stored. Lots of random thoughts in there. Alex and I still converse about what we had with the US Class Nationals. I even have a couple of outlines that makes sense out of class racing on a National level. I just need to win the Arkansas Lottery or find a business/benefactor that wants to fund and could benefit from a Great Adventure.. :~) I hope to see you at some races this summer and hope you are enjoying retirement, again.

Maybe this could be a way to reverse the trend of more and more extreme parts, without having to start all over.This would not hurt anyone it would just draw new people in, I think lots of new people. Think of it as de-evolution.

YOU'VE JUST RAN OFF THE GUYS In V.
(sorry 'bout the caps,fat fingers..)
because NOW they'd have to run R/S cars and there's only "w" left.
besides, didn't we have "pure stock" years ago?
i THINK ihra still does...don't know, don't have an ihra track anywhere's close to here



just had a thought!
how about if you're running an "orphan" make car, you get to drop down another class?
