Race Issues...

Rock,

as one of the unlucky souls that (generally, uncompetitively) races an overweight, mostly steel Chevy II in SG because I want also to run SC, I'd support the recommendation from Alex and others to drop the "one class" rule for S/ST... I might have a chance to move from a 3-digit to a 2-digit reaction time in that case...

I don't, however, think it makes sense to invite more true (i.e., lightweight, tube chassis) SG cars to run in S/ST by lowering the min weight for S/ST. Need to give the little guys a chance to run without being 25-30mph slower on the top end than their competitor (like I am today in SG...). Also allows the local racer to run their bracket beater at a divisional event when the show is in town.

See you in Stanton.
