Ok, Let me try to get some back story here. A few years back the STAC looked at the future of STU and noticed that it wasn't likely going to be Ex-W/C cars. We know the class had started that way, but very few had ever shown up and raced. What we saw was people were building cars or bringing cars over from other clubs, but maybe 5-7 real ex-W/C cars were being raced? So we decided to "help" the class grow by having people feel they didn't have to compete againts giants. Ergo the 5% + which ever weight is greater. We have seen quite a few letters suggesting that we hurt the W/C cars too much. The issue is those efforts that have written letters are not of the caliber that we expect to win the RunOffs or even the June Sprints. Hard to use them as a Bar. Your car is older and from what I remember the Cougars never were very competitive? The issue is the class is based on Blanket Policy. If we adjust your car, then why not the Real Time car that won the RunOffs a few years ago?

Honestly, because your car would be on a specline we can make adjustments. That being said, we have to take a serious look at all the World Challenge cars in order to do so. Not making a promises, but perhaps your letter will prompt a good conversation.
