Hmmm, maybe I
did originally read it correctly.
The suggestion of a class using new cars isn't a helpful class, IMO, it dilutes the good ones. I agree with Kevin that using existing touring cars with GT and street-type bodies is a good solution to down participation numbers. But it isn't a cure-all.
Creating another new class based on chassis that people don't already have and are on the difficult side to acquire is detrimental to racing. IMO, that's a bad thing for racing and racers.
We're better off buying these cool cars (F1, U2 Trans Am, Minis, etc.) and enjoying them without "racing" them than we are trying to create another sub-class to break down the existing racers with another class of the month.
Save your race days for Trans Am.
Just my two cents.
