But I do strongly disagree with you about their importance. Not from a performance/build ease standpoint but a perceptional one.
We are more and more being viewed as that crusty old, increasingly irrelevant class that makes you keep your water bottle/wiring harness/stock battery location. We are oging to face competition from the ST classes and I think we need to do what we can to keep attracting racers to our class.
That perceptional issue matters.
some things in here i agree with and some things i don't.
agree;
1) perception matters.
2) we do need to attract new racers
disagree;
1) we're facing any relevant level of competition from ST, not to mention enough to influence IT policy
2) we have to give membership "what they want."
