I'm confused when I read that IT becoming national would eliminate the "Entry level" category. Why?? It can't be financial. I can go buy $5000 prod cars all day long. But I won't...the ruleset, and the stability turn me off.
But I COULD, if I didn't care about my level of competiveness, go buy a Prod car as my "entry level" efffort.
But people don't typically choose Prod as an entry. Why? Because the prep level is beyond many.
So.............if we don't change the IT ruleset and prep level, WHY would it cease to be entry level???? Answer...it won't. Now, if it's more popular, of course it will be harder to be the fastest guy, so a newbie, or an expert, will have more trouble winning. That's just pure statistics.
What I'm reading is that some resistance is being offered, as Kirk points out, on a geographic basis. And of course, I suppose it sucks to be doing well, as the BMW guy in the NW was doing with a partial build, then being relegated to the back when more serious efforts show up, forcing you to get more serious. On the other hand.......you could look at it another way...some guys in other parts of the country are running the same effort, but have never even sniffed a trophy. Glass half full? or half empty? Seems to me it's dependent on where you are.
