I have been reading complaints about the new cars on a lot of these threads. I sort of get it but maybe I'm missing something. I'm in the process of building (someday finishing) an older car that fits A, B or C.
Since most of the new cars are out of B and C is my only concern qualifying at the select races with qualified fields were the newer cars get in much easier?
As long as I don't have to go heads up with the much faster newer cars (also certain older cars) I should be alright?
