The lightest cars will dominate some combinations will become extinct when in comes to dial in racing and forget about stick shifts, there's a reason there are virtually none in .90 classes.But for heads up runs where both cars are similiar and no dial ins it might be O.K.

I remember that instant green fiasco at Seattle, having a heavy 12 second 4 speed street/strip car, I absolutely hated it, and I seem to recall they used it for only a short period of time, less than a year, I believe. I am not positive, back I think that may have been when a full tree was still using 5 amber lights on the tree. Quite a change, that I doubt anybody liked.
