Rather than guess why not try to convince one of the Sports car writers to do an article on the need for new classes with a survey link to the Sports car website or the SCCA.com website? This will reach the most people and get the most direct answer.

That would be good if the powers that be are sufficiently convinced it's warranted. I think convincing the ITAC wouldn't be so hard. I would say what you and Bill are thinking is more along the first step. Right now we're trying to crawl if you will.

It's very hard to get movement without letters. They are the first step. One or two are not enough to start anything moving. If you remember the push for allowing up to 15" wheels, it was a slow process that took a lot of prodding for folks to write letters to even get it off the dime. The BoD and CRB are not interested in fixing things that aren't broken or creating classes where there is no apparent interest. This club is member driven and as Kirk has mentioned many times, action is geared around letters. A lack of letters is received as a lack of interest.

If letters come in, the issue will get some discussion and as a result of the discussion, some of the things you and Bill have mentioned will certainly come up. But it requires at least some action on the part of the members to get it rolling.
