I'll add to Kyle's post..

A feeder class.needs to be speed and.power limited (aka 540 silvercan). This allows a less.than perfect racer to come to grips with the driving aspect much quicker. Also limited speeds provide closer racing and.allow newbies.to be.closer to the front of the pack.sooner. This all.helps in keeping people interested in running the class. How.would you feel jumping into 12th mod and being lapped 15 times each.run. People get.sick of this real quick.
