Maybe speed creep isn't what I'm against. I'm starting to think class creep is a more descriptive phrase. On this premise I'll accept that speed creep is inevitable. Newer, faster stuff is sold each year; eventually they should end up in IT. What I don't like is the idea that current cars should be pushed out to make room for newer cars.

Cars get older, parts get scarce and new stuff must be allowed in.
No argument here. Z cars are still fairly cheap and plentiful, at least in the desert southwest, but this may not be true for other cars or in other parts of the country.

The two ways to do this are simple:
Slowly eliminate the competitiveness of the older stuff by pushing cars down the food chain to make room for the newer, more powerful and better designed stuff in SS right now
What end is served by pushing cars, and thus members, out? Unless you mean taking currrently competitive cars and moving them down a class, but is that any different than:

Develope a new class above ITSto have aplace for these cars to run while still maintaing the current competitive babalce as best as possible.
I don't particularly care if my car has an S or a V or a whatever on the side if I believe have a reasonable chance each time I go out.

Interestingly, we have had some feedback that keeping the same amount of classes is fine and that the only thing we are doing by 'protecting' ITB and ITC is creating a vinatge class within IT...has SOME merit but I think we can do more.

I do to. I can't think of a damn thing I can do about it, but if you do please let me know.
