Wow. I had no idea the little example that popped to the top of my head would (re)start such a pissing match. Sorry about that guys.
Darin,
I have some "real" info for you but won't post it publicly because its not all mine to publicly share. Its nothing earth shattering, and wouldn't be a huge surprise to anyone who watched this year's ITC ARRC race. But what certain cars make HP wise in ITC is widely known around here and not really hidden. The numbers shared are matching up to whats happening on the track as well (and are a big reason this years ITC race was such a damned good one). Email me at "unchecked22 at hotmail dot com" if you are interested.
Chuck,
Again, you're talking about spec classes or similar cars/chassis. The pwr/weight thing works for that type stuff. We are not in disagreement there.
And nobody is FORCING you to sell your 14" wheels. SCCA says you can still use them if you want to.
It can be a little different with NASA. Just trust me on this. I've been the recipient of unsolicited, unrequested, unwanted rule change emails from California. I USED to think the SCCA process was a pain in the ass. Now... not so much.
BTW - If SCCA continues to get its shit straight in IT (another big thanks to Darin and the crew), NASA racing is in big trouble. Their most popular series have capitalized on cars that SCCA either didn't class or grossly misclassed (which was the SOLE driving force behind the Honda Challenge, now NASA's most popular series). These things they are-a changing. We'll see how things shake out in a few years.
