Dave; Last year Ardun Doug, Bill Carlson and I tried to get the X and XX
class breaks changed from the current 325 and below and 325 to 375 inch to
the same as all the other classes with C,D,E and F breaks. What could be
wrong with that? No deal, never happen. The year before Bill wanted to run
in E/R class with a 252ci GMC. Sounds good, right? No deal, never happen.
Got to run against 325ci class break. I think my point is don't expect to
much. No Deal, Never happen. Rich Fox
