It scares me when folks say that the natural progression of things needs to be towards higher performance, faster classes. I certainly don't have as much time in the club as most of you guys, but no one seems to be mentioning the reason that I think we have to maintain the lower performance classes . . . COST. I can't justify spending more than I do now on my ITB car. As you look around the automotive landscape just about every manufacturer is now producing economy models that will someday fit into lower performance, RELATIVELY inexpensive IT classes. You can buy a very competitive ITB car for waaaay less than $10k (often less than $5k). I don't think we want to make the entry point for racing any more expensive than it is.

And, no, I don't want to race Chumpcar . . . I'd like to continue racing right where I am.
