TomAT,

The idea is good and could work in your area. However, there will always be detractors just like you have seen with post #2 to your thread. The main thing is to build the class and rules and stick to them. The first time you deviate from the rules one iota, the class is done. If you do have to make changes to the rules, get a general agreement to any changes from the racers that are racing and supporting the class regularly, not the fly-by-night racers that are looking to mold the class to what they want, then once the train wreck has happened, they walk away from the class while leaving you to clean up the rubble.
