And it seems it wouldn't dilute the current pool of C1 competitors.By reading all these threads it seems a few people really do seem to want a special class for themselves and their specific needs so this thread is perfect! By adding all the "considerations" it starts to get silly: Why not guys with glasses, age concessions or metrosexuals only etc? It really seems to show the lack of wanting to create an opportunity to grow the sport unless you can have it your specific way. Mandating shift pattern, shock sizes, wheel types and all these and, and and's; is like mandating driving suit colors... Really?Watch for what you ask for as even spec classes have their issues: TL had chassis changes for basically one guy and then shocks and rear ends for these guys and to keep up with a few changes to be at the top of the spec it hurt the growth it had to that point... Motor builders started the whole H2o pumper deal in 10 that ended up almost killing that class and the same with a few guys with the dual ports, disk brakes and other things in 1600. Keep it simple and make it realistic, and it has a chance. Don't and you'll eventually end up playing with yourself...</blockquote>
