Horsepower Adjustments???

The SS/GT class structure just multiplies the problem.

That was exactly what my thoughts were from an earlier post. Putting them in their own class for Stock like the FX class is very easy to implement. Super Stock classes would be a natural extension of those classes, but the GT would be a nightmare.

The best solution would be to refactor the GT horsepower right off the top. It is generally different than the Super Stock rating in most cases anyway.

An early retirement for Gracia would be welcome. It would be great to put Wesley in that position. He probably wouldn't take it if it required him to move to California. Maybe we could convince him that Gracia couldn't do the job from California and there is no reason that Wesley could do any worse from Louisiana.

Bring back the days of proper knobs on the dash and correct sun visors.

but he'd never take it

I am sure you are right that he would never take it, but maybe we would get him back to the National events in Division 4 with Gracia gone. It would help the rest of the nation to have Wesley in that position, but I race Division 4 and having him here covers me. That is as long as Gracia's replacement doesn't back stab Wesley on his decisions.

Glendora will only hire a "yes" man, so there goes that chance.

A yes man Wesley isn't, that's for sure. LOL!
He also knows enough about actual race engines he would have never would have never bought these bogus combination's hp ratings. I know I'm not the only SS car getting parked for a while over the DP mess. I'm still going to work on it and test, but not going to race until I see how this mess shakes out. Probably run some close IHRA races.

Problem with that Ed is the IHRA dosent have a seperate class for the S/S cars (just stock) or SS/GT cars with these bogus engines in them if any should decide to race with IHRA.

If IHRA buys those bogus numbers, guess I wont go there either.
