When you guys go hog-wild with the mods and push the envelope, you don't see that you chase away the guys that can't afford to do what you are doing to keep up with you. This class started out as a test of setup and driving ability due to the cars basically being equal. Now, many of you are turning it into a money-pit class just like 200mm nitro and Lola-body 1/8th scale, which is what this class was "not" suppose to be. Just my $0.02 observation.

You have hit the nail squarely on the head. Great summary.
