Its all good and we all have our opinions to what we like and don't like.
Aaron made the point I was after better than I did. 20+ years, yup me too and this is just one of those things that come up from time to time over the years and it can still strick a cord with racers.
I had an idea once when NORRCA was still around, have NORRCA run all the Stock/ Sportsman events and have ROAR run all the mod/ Expert/ "Pro" events. I got laughed at many times over for that, but thought that both could work together in that way instead of each having their own Championships for pretty much the same classes. Good points were made on both sides of the issue.
