you wanted a class that your car could step right into, sorry that wasn't able to be done this year. i keep all of the suggestions i receive written down for future reference. if time/space/sponsorship/demand become available then more classes will be added and rules changed to create more competition.
as far as cutting the field one way or the other, some research i did last year pointed out the fact that 275/50-15 is the most popular selling drag tire of any construction over teh last several years. it is also the basis for touring sereis under at least 3 different regional sanctioning bodies and countless tracks have trophy programs based around this tire size. to me, that doesn't sound like a very limited field.
if anything i would agree with what most people i have talked to pointed at as a limiting factor for entries, the suggested base weight. one of the first things that many people do is go to lightweight components and some cars even come stock below the base weights that were suggested. that has been a great point of debate from the begining but it does look like we are finding a middle ground with the 3400 number that makes pretty much everyone happy.
please don't try to make it sound like the rules packages i work on are not honest efforts or i am trying to see classes the way i want. i have put a lot of time over the years into researching different rules packages in an effort to come up with fun and fair classes at any event that i have ever been a part of the planning team.
