Keith, you started this thread..How you gonna put it all together? You
gonna summarize it or what?
I am still opposed to class jumping. The rule book we all live by prohibits
it: see I-2 "All vehicles will run ONLY in the lowest primary
class/category for which they are legal."
I don't buy the argument that class jumping to set records brings more
people to the event.
I agree that bikes and cars should be separate with regards to points and
championships.
