Hopefully this won't come across as agreeing with Mr. Foster (since I
don't particularly like to agree with people who seem like idiots), the
attitude above is a bit too far the other way.
If we didn't want autox to grow and get new people involved, that attitude
would be fine. But if we want autox to attract new blood and change with
the times, that means that occasionally we need to evaluate if our current
classes are lacking something that competitors or potential competitors
desire. I think DG's STU class is a good example of how to do that. I
think the Vette Stock arguments from Mr. Foster have been a good example
of how NOT to do that.
Not that I have an opinion or am any less of a dickhead myself... :-)
