And how many WC cars are we really talking about anyway!? But, the idea mprphed a bit, and we have a category that appears to be designed as a place for WC cars, but in reality, there just aren't THAT many WC cars looking for a place to race, and the class/category seems to be re-examining it's cornerstones. Then we're adding a third level, STL. But that has different prep levels. Ya, it's a tricky situation.
I'm glad that the issue of "What IS this class/category??" has been raised. It appears that it was the result of a shoot from the hip initiative, but it really needs some serious soul searching and adjustments. Good to see that happening.
I'm taking the 'stand back and watch" approach.
