Here is a thought... Monday in Topeka there is nothing happening, so
run the Supplemental class nationals Monday. They split into two groups half
on north the other on south, then in the afternoon they switch. kill an
empty day and they don't effect the regular classes.

Well, since I've already stepped on a bunch of toes, I might as well get
the rest...
At Nationals, we had 1097 drivers total:
stock 464 43%
SP 240 22%
P 176 16%
M 146 13%
other (STS, SM, F125) 71 6%
I don't have numbers for regional events, but I'd expect the percentage of
stock class cars to be even higher due to the number of novices coming out
on street tires.
In terms of number of classes, we have 30 total classes (combining ladies
into the open classes)
stock 9 30%
SP 6 20%
P 6 20%
M 6 20%
other 3 10%
The new stock class re-org is being done to add another super-duper stock
class at the top, while "not increasing the number of classes in an already
over-divided classing system" or something to that effect.
Perhaps the P and M classes should reduce the number of classes and give
them to the Stock classing people. That would preserve the total number of
classes.
It'll never happen, of course. Too many committees, too many people with
cars built for their class, etc.
I wonder how the SCAC would feel about 2 more stock classes for their new
proposal?
