How about we play this thing the other way.. What has to be changed to make a WC
car fit an exisiting class. maybe less than one might expect.. That might be a
lot more constructive in the first place. What has to happen to make them an
Altered or a Comp coupe If all the body lines are right seems like they would
fit into one of those classes. if they have aero mods that make them safer in
case of a spin then we might learn from them too. I don't suspect someone just
thoguht of roof rails in LSR that was not also watching a Nascar race..
