That is not the picture I got at the meeting. What I got from it was that we would allow the big motors ONLY if we can even out the playing field with weight. If the guys with the A class motors and the other 600's start getting their doors blowed off on a regular basis, you will see a big drop in car numbers. Granted the small wings and the spec tire will help delete SOME of the hp but not all of it so the only other solution is weight, BUT where will we have to go with the weight to solve the problem. Maybe I am worried about nothing but I have seen what a good HEAVY 619 can do against some GOOD 600's.
I am not trying to start a big discussion on this just voicing my concern. I would like to hear from some of the other racers, Mike G. and others.
