Many people including myself, feels it's a big problem. Lots of people have
spent a ton of time/money to keep there cars production based. It sounds to
me that DM competitors are ok with a bunch of tubes welded together and
sometype of body slapped onto it. Ok, this week it could be a Europa, next
week it's a Fiero and when it comes down to it it's neither, because it
didn't start off as a car, let alone a production based car. I would like to
see DM/EM out of that type of class and for it to remain production based. A
tubed framed car is fine providing it starts off as a production car. My car
is getting closer to running again and this rule thing is starting to bug me
again.
