Why does anyone think excluding certain cars from a class is a good thing? IE not allowing tube cars in S/ST. Maybe enforcing the existing ballast rules would help eliminate any of the flyweight S/ST cars if that is an issue. Having them step up to the next class. I think 2800 is a reasable limit personally. The ballast rules already exist in the books, just enforce what is there. I know my tube chassis car carries ZERO ballast and is overweight as it is now. It was originally a Pro Street car that became a racecar.

As for MPH limits, I can understand that point but how will it be enforced? As pointed out how do you explain to spectators that the guy who went 8.900 at 170.9 looses to the guy who goes 8.88 at 169.9? What will those MPH limits be? Bear in mind excluding cars from the classes will only help to dilute the fields even further. I think inclusion is the key not exclusion.

As for the spectator comments come on. I see the stands clear out for Pro Stock. How many people do you see attending bracket races as spectators? I have been in the stands listening to conversations of folkls trying to explain Comp Eliminator, they seem to ahve a hard enough time with that let alone any of the .90 classes...

It aint broke so dont fix it. Just my .02 worth
