A few questions for Mr. Thatcher, Mr. Andy and Mr. Mitchell

1. In view of the fact that nearly zero of the nationally competitive SP cars 
are streeted on any kind of a regular basis is is a bad thing for a category 
called "Street Touring" to shy away from from the concept of Streetable SP and 
stay closer to bolt on stock?

2.  As it is my understanding the original vision of STS was to be a strictly 
bolt on mod class.  STU (Now SM)was created to provide a home for more radical 
modifications. Do you believe that junkyard engine swaps (as a means of being 
competitive rather than simple economics) belong in the ST concept?

3.  ST was designed to attracted new members (whether or not it has is a 
different debate).  Given that UD/BD generally helps older cars more than new 
due to availability, weight and price of parts is it good for the club as a 
whole to give anymore of an advantage to out of date cars that are already 
dominating the class?  (Close you eyes and try to see a frankincivic being 
featured in Sport and Compact Car... Sneak Preview-- He dropped a D16A in this 
little bad boy and boosted the power all the way to 108!)

And Finally...
Why is it that this is such a hot button for the three of you?  Do you have 
plans to compete in ST?
