Consistency, for breakout racing.

Hey, Yankee, doesn't matter what kind of car it is.

For your information, I sat on the SFI committee that made these specs. Had nothing to do with NMCA etc.
At the time it had more to do with fast NHRA and IHRA modified cars and a need for a spec. In fact my personal Grand Am was used for ideas to write the 25-5 spec.

The point is, these cars are way too fast for a regular cage and should not be running this fast without the correct spec chassis.

The rules are specific and this shouldn't have happened.
