Update to:
1) A realistic claimer price
2) Open up the cooling tin to whatever trimming and available aftermarket/stock VW concept you want
3) Relax the trans rules slightly
Soapbox:I have no skin in this game but... Having raced this class for years, having a huge soft spot in my heart for it and having numerous friends that have run, ran and are still in it. The rules have always been hit/miss as has enforcement and the fact is: Tech has been historically inconsistent with this class.
We've seen cars weighed with tools, jacks, spares and fuel and watched purple fuel get pumped out of one car, questionable carb/manifold mods and have never seen them ask to make sure the fuel cell was empty. We know one engine builder for some guys WAAAAYYYY down south that told us that they had built a few 1641 & 1776's for guys. God forbid they proactively pull out a tape measure, the scales or randomly or pull a head. But if your tin is trimmed or you win too often...
We also know for a fact that 3 of the ingredients in Frannncois hair products are banned in the USA.
With that said: I think the guys running MORE/SNORE are legit but it would be a solid step to see better techs and a few rules updated to reflect current costs and that really don't alter the class.
