The Comp N/A class is a great choice for super stockers, though the price tag would be higher than converting a stocker to mean street. Nevertheless, it looks like a whole lotta fun, and at the end of the day, not a whole lot more money than building a competitive super stocker (if at all).

The structuring of the classes is excellent, too: One class, heads-up, pro tree, many choices/combinations to choose from, affordable (even to the younger generation), room to grow, exciting. Wow! What an amazing concept....

Now, if they could only sway class racers to make the switch and put together more regional events.....

Mean Street is a tough class. We tried it a couple years ago. I'd be willing to bet if we had the backing and time to do some testing different clmbos, we could be competive.
