Hey y'all,
I've got a simpler idea. What DG and others seem to be
leaning towards is really a Modified class for "real cars".
Why call it STU, SST, or whatever - why don't we just
add another class to Modified with DG's 4-seat, front-engine,
no-tube-frame "real car" language and more reasonable
weight minimums. Like maybe something indexed to engine
displacement with multipliers for rotaries, abnormal aspiration,
and 4wd (incidentally, I hope to have all 3 of these "evils" in
my 323GTX some day).
Both the SP and ST purists will be happy. Are there any
Modified purists who would complain? The rice-persons
should be happy. Call it something "cool" like X Modified.
Or you could give the old fart "buy a different car" crowd
a few chuckles and call it I Modified.
I dunno. It seems like what DG, the drag-racers, and I all
want is really more fitting to the spirit of Modified, not Street
Touring. Just my $.02 and change.
BTW, where can I find the current STU rules?
