If there is unrest in BM, then deal with it in that class. Don't take a
successful class like CM and quite probably damage it by moving a car
with lots more HP and torque and bigger wheels and stiffer chassis into
the class.

There are a zillion FF's around. There is already a great mix of
machines in CM. Leave it alone. There are lots of participants in the
class. If someone wants to autocross a basic formula car and need to
buy a car they can pick FM or CM. Not many people who ALREADY own a
FF2000 want to go solo.

So since there hasn't been alot of shuffling of cars in Mod, let's start
shaking thngs up now. I entered CM for one reason: I was tired of the
car of the month in stock, didn't like the amount of prep necessary for
SP and Prep. So now that there is a place in Mod where there is
stability, you want to shake things up. Please don't. In EVERY
category and every class there are always cars that will just not quite
be competitive. There is nothing that can be done but to try in every
case to make them competitive which in turn pisses off more people than
it makes happy.

I agree with you. The SEB should always consult their appropriate
advisory committees before proposing any rule change that affects that
committee's category. Their mistake. What does it have to do with
FF2000s?
