Stock will be open. Sponsored drivers will be allowed in the class. The "expert" classes were not filled out enough and other classes were added this year so in an effort to not delute the classes too much Jimmy picked the current list for next year. It will all work out just fine.

Not just chassis no. I look at it like this, If you have a legit sponsorship (chassis, motor, battery, tire etc.) then you are obviously a good enough driver to warrant that sponsorship. I like the idea of any kind of sponsored driver should be in his or her own class. Just my thoughts. I will be runnin the series regardless but I do have thoughts about it.

How do you draw the line at "sponsored". A guy that gets 15-25% everything at a hobby shop since he works there, is he "sponsored" This is a better deal then a lot of motor/battery guys get. What do you do with someone that gets help in the middle of the season? I think most all of the expert stock buggy and truck guys will move up to super stock and not run stock anymore since there is no expert class but I don't know that for a fact. Most big races do not offer expert stock classes anymore as well. Racing agianst faster guys will make you faster. Lets see how it all goes before we internet bash it to death before a race has even been run.

I have mixed feelngs on this topic,it is hard to find a happy med of sponsor and a real sponsor,example motor sponsors etc still have to pay they just get a break and maybe some help with gearing etc,i think chassis sponsor is the big defining line,if you have a chassis sponsor you should stay in a higher class as they are very hard to come by and you have to be a great driver to have one..
i have a mtr and tire sponsor but only race couple races a year(because of work) so i may be alittle faster than average but dnt stay as fined tund as a chassis spnsor driver does,yes i know that is my problem but..
i think jimmy does as good as he can specially no prizes to chassis sponsor drivers does help deture them from racing a lower class and racing better /faster driver does help you become faster!!
