This would make the most sense to me. IF, the big IF, the crate cars dominate, which I highly suspect they won't , you make adjustments, add weight, move the cars up a class (or two), add HP, which many have suggested. I can guarantee one thing, someone won't be happy!

The slight wt. break might work well to combine GT and traditional Super stockers????? Maybe some wt. break for the lower class automatic stockers and super stockers also. The main thing is there are way to many classes. The manufactures cannot pay for class win for all these different classes in this economy. Why do you think that a class win money has been going down and it isnt worth much even at Indy? All would still run the eliminator on Sunday anyway....not just class winners. Just thinking out loud. One question.....How many FWD cars exist today across the country anyway????

They already have thier own class index in GT, Crate motors, and the pure stockers but if you notice they run stick and auto together for the same class. There is no seperate stick and automatic class and to cut down the number of classes this might happen with the rest of the classes. Not sure yet though.

Full pound breaks, sticks and autos run together. I think this would make the racing fun. Wish I had my stocker ready.

Let's race!!! Gives me something to work towards.
