So what exactly are you guys trying to do? Make the class cheaper? Only solution is a full spec class with specific rules and tech for club races. Won't happen.
Do you think you're going to all of a sudden start winning if these things change? Nope. The guy that wins will continue to be faster than you. Sure, they're a better driver.
My comment comes on the heels of watching a factory team driver run the rookie class at surf city and not even podium.
