Thanks for the reply Dan, again, I figured now was the time, and
here was the place to give some input. It sounds like you've been down this
very road before with little interest, especially when you weigh it against
what would be involved in implementing such a change. Just wanted to share
some thoughts with the group!

Darrell and list,
That suggestion has been brought up in the past, and yet again. The
person
who proposed fuel in MS class is building a fuel hemi and only has a
GT car
to put it in. It was decided that in this case his proposal was
limited in
scope. The entrants in a given class generally have the input to
give
validity to a rule change such as this, there seems to be no
interest in
this change for year 2000.
