    As far as insinuating that Drago or members of the ST rules adhoc are advocating for their cars as they adjust rules, nothing could be further from the truth.

    With the exception of Greg's pathological hatred for all things rotary (I am assuming his high school nemesis was conceived in one), the committee looks at all sides of the argument before voting their interests.

    I like your idealism but my direct experiences show otherwise.

    T3= showroom stock based, DOT tires
    FP= major car mods, slicks
    STL= major mods, DOT tires

    Different strokes for different folks. I currently own cars that run in all 3 classes.

    I am well aware of some of the shenanigains pulled on the committees but haven't seen it in the ST committee.

    What I haven't seen is any prepped to the limits FWD cars show up at an STL race. Until I see that, I will resist any changes to the status quo

    Again, sportcars have more rear weight.

    I watched some STL vid of Sebring. Might have been GA in Teggy or honda maybe chasing a Miata. The Honda had more power but was very slow entry - exit speeds. IE at T 4-5 the Honda touched the brake while I know that a Miata just flicks left. Same @ T1, Miata, just lifts and turns left @ 99MPH/4th gear, and the Honda maybe even down geared.
    Had they swapped cars and got rid of the Honda push, the Honda would maybe be faster.

    On another note, ask Drago how much 50#slows his car!! .6-.8 per lap at Ssebring in a Miata.
