Tim's stats are about correct. Actually I have two cars that I run in /ES and /FS. I'm currently building a SS/CX chassis but it's a year or more out. There is a SS/DX car that will be out next year, possibly a second.

So what are you getting at? I'm going to speculate that you're proposing a 'Dick Butler' here and suggesting that classes be eliminated that are under populated. This is none of your business. What class do you run? Maybe we can vote on eliminating it next? Why stop there, there have probably been years where there was only one SS/P or SS/GM and probably other classes like that, let's just pick them off one at a time, no one will complain. I have been racing in SS 4 cylinder classes (not just occasionally but a full schedule of divisional and national events every year since '86) so I think I have a little bit of a track record on this matter. In case you don't recall, the 4 cylinder SS classes got downsized once already which was OK, I was involved in working with NHRA to streamline the revision but I'm not OK with it happening again. Here's my vote: Let's quite voting on eliminating classes that affect someone other than ourselves.
