have no issue about the motor change to a 21.5 on sportsman, i actually agree it's a good move. the issue for 21.5 would be forced to bump. IIC intro'd 21.5 TC as a class this year with handout motors.
maybe national standards should be considered? which you, me, HT owner and HT race manager have discussed on F1 which 4 major venues are running 25.5 carpet and upcoming below
fellow Hobbytown (sponsored?) N-Control track that is hosting 2017 ROAR On Road Paved nationals runs a TC class (sportsmans?) with 25.5T......and F-1 btw also 25.5 on what appears to be a nice large/long track

oval drivers needed to consolidate the classes they had created, and then actually show....they couldn't and can't. i don't FB, but friends link me SS's and tell me who said what when the oval controversy prior to asphalt and some posters upset dirt oval was going away, etc. i was doing oval or i marshal oval, never saw them. showing up once twice a year to run oval, then trying to make a stance on it...yeah.
as for oval, the road course set-up right now move one board, 3-4 dots and the oval is there. if there was truly interest, the oval racers would consolidate into 1-2 classes max and actually show to make oval races happen. in the midwest i was part of the onroad group that raced TC and 1/12th at a indoor track comprised of a larger group of oval racers. we had a agreement with them, it was their track, we would set up/convert the layout to onroad for our heats, then convert it back to oval. we paid to race, worked to race, no hobbybucks, no tea and crumpets. this thought eludes our oval racers.
even prior to the rains attendance was bleak, so bad you would have one racer in late model...yes one, 2 in USRA (late model with a bolt together body), 2-3 avg in sprint car. after the all the rains, yes the oval track was trashed, some oval guys appeared refused to run it, one tried to work on it. HT crew had no incentive to redo it and looked towards better use of space
some of the oval racers, were going to do VTA, 12th, F1.....two F1 (ex-oval) show at random, rarely finish or qual and leave to the point that remaining F1 is run with 1/12th's
the old dirt oval track was wide, banked, huge buffer for errors. i doubt oval wise in this area that many could handle narrower straights lined with wood and 10 feet flat turns wood barrier or steel wall at each end.

My logic was that it could be easier for some to drive on asphalt than dirt. I remember quite a few brutal hits due to spinning out and driving the wrong way on the dirt track, with the leaders having to pass 2-3 lapped racers per lap, and that could be easier to prevent on asphalt.
It can be done, if there is any enthusiasm for it. I understand that there may not be.
