The classes that you are reminiscing about are now known as Novice and GT3
when you see Eric Wippler or any of the other past mini champs passing mid level gt2 17.5 cars you'll know what I mean. Don't ask me how I know
my friend's, cousin's, neighbor, saw it and told me!
You're both right. A lot of the so called SHARKS, started in the D, E or lower Mains and worked their way up. Some as you say were talented TC drivers who moved over.
What he was referring to was that were not seeing as many new Mini racers showing up. I suspect he believes it's due to the new rules. Of course, some started racing Mini because of switch to B/L motors. I suspect tho, that these are not the new racers that he was referring to.
