is a corvette even allowed in sm?

yea, probably could have phrased that better... really though with all the
hours and bucks people have spent getting cars tuned correctly, do you think
people are going to put cars back to factory fresh -?

I completely see your point, however as proposed most everybody I know would
then be running in some sort of sm class - do we then have s1-s9 + sm1-sm9 +
SP, P, M?? come on, are we going to be the next NCCC? Green Peace would
start protesting our events for the amount of lumber that would be given
away at award ceremonies.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but around here the truly 100%
stock cars have a place to run already in "Street Tire" - usually people
just getting started here & it works fine - I know once I began to develop
some driving skills it was nice to be allowed some mechanical changes - for
me this is an enjoyable part of a-x.

last time I checked this was a motorsport.  all motorsports take time,
money, ingenuity and sacrifices for competitors to rise to the level they
are willing to make it to.  if the real argument is cost control / that this
is grass-roots, well I'm sorry, there is always someone willing to spend
more $$ than "you" if it means winning....

I think what we have currently works

my 1/2 cent worth of bs....
