Sounds like you, Byron, Angelo, Mark, are all capable of bombing the combo. Who is the bad boy in your class, any of you, Mr. Silveus, or some other combo?

Why don't you petition to remove the trigger so you can run your car the way it should be run. I'm tired of hearing about people that say they can go so far under but won't because they are afraid of being hit with HP. PERFORMANCE BASED CATEGORY, my ***. Bunch of people laying low and saying it's strategy, or they're protecting their combo. Would'nt it be nice just to let it all hang out.

REMOVE THE TRIGGER

Ron, the problem is the class average. I doubt that our overall engine average was a second under.....but since the review was triggered in one class, and that single class average was more than 1 second under in GT, we got 4 in GT only. It has been petitioned by a few racers that I know of to get rid of the class average, but I guess that didn't happen.

My feeling is we do need a trigger to eventually even combos out.....but like I said before, only counting national events isn't right because you penalize those who race often more than those who fly, but only go to a few nationals a year.

Like most things in life.....there is no simple solution!
