Not sure I agree with the cost containment assumption. Our owner has spent a ton on the Celica , but it's still a rolling turd.
Without clear rules , guys continue to push the envelop and render the older cars non competitive. How about a 2nd Gen RX7 with a SHO motor that gets no penalty laps ? How about an absolute bone stock 1.6 miata with no laps ? No way a true crap can can be competitive.
I'm OK with it , ( I just join the team as a diversion / fun weekend ) just think Chump could retain more competitors by better definition of the rules and adding a few classes.
