Mike I appreciate you giving us a look at the preliminary version.

Thanks

If Stock and S/S were to ever go to one pound classes, you'd almost have to make it that a car can run it's natural class only. Reason being, take a 396/375 Camaro in B/SA, rated at 390. Under the current rules, it can run A and C also. On one pound classes, that's 780 total pounds of adjustable weight. Almost no car would (legally) have that capability. It would even be worse for a car that runs SS/BA, like a '64 Hemi. 500 hp rating = 1000 pounds to move to SS/AA and SS/CA if there were 1 pound classes. So making a car run it's natural class would be a good thing (and easiest) with 1 pound classes.

Sounds good to me ! One class ONLY......the natural one and 1 pound breaks. Sticks and Automatic together. Small wt. adjustment allowed for the lower classes for trans used. It just MIGHT bring back some sponsors so a class win would be worth something.
