If you choose to take that general statement about some of the opinions
voiced by many (about special treatment for AM) in this long thread as
directed at you, I can't stop you.

Gee Jay, when AP was last "restructured or consolidated", as you call it, a
few years ago what happened? What happened was FP was "eliminated". The
same rules applying to classes today applied then. Now the AP cars DID have
a place to go without significant rule changes. AM wouldn't be so easy. The
purpose of the 'consolidation and restructuring rule' is to eliminate
undersubscribed classes as defined by their participation levels at the Solo
II Nationals. If you want to think otherwise I can't stop you from that
either.

the 'restructure and consolidation' rule was discussed and adopted) Dickey
