I don't want to see the class eliminated. But by the same token, I don't think everyone else should be paying the increased costs and sitting around during the clean up. They need to clean up their act. If they don't, odds are, it will get cleaned up for them and they won't like it.

So you dont think the pro mod racers are paying a share of the the insurance cost with each entry? They are racers that built cars to a class in the rule book just like any other racer at the track, paid the fees and passed a technical inspection. They are subject to the same oil down penalties as any other racer and no matter if its a stoker or fuel car that oils the track or crashes, everyone is sitting around waiting. Just part of life in the big Mello Yellow circus......
