The real question was one of developing a class. For instance when Vesco
built the turbine powered wheel driven car, was there three cars to make a
class? How about Breedlove and the 3 wheeler he first ran? What about the
electric streamliner? Did all those have 3 cars to make a class? If not,
then why were the rules changed just for them. If so, then where are the
other cars? Do special circumstances exist? Just a question, folks... Clubs,
as well as corporations need to reinvent themselves constantly to be in tune
with their support base and to keep from stagnating. Don't know if this is
the case here or not. Just a question.
