Understand that the 'problem' with the classing of the WS6 and the SS are in the
STOCK classes, not in the SP classes. Many don't understand this issue but it
is what it is:
The SS and the WS6 at one time were built by a Tuner shop (SLP Engineering in
Canada) so the SCAC and the SEB were 'afraid' of these cars in terms of legality
and documentation in protest situations. IF they became the cars to have in FS,
then it would have created some potentially sticky issues in the protest shed.
The SEB decided to class the 'conservatively' in SS in order to give them a
place to run in Stock. Now *I* don't understand why anyone would run one in SS,
but the option is there.
Don't include that in your letter, those cars are anomalies in STOCK and are
properly classed in SP IMHO.

OK, it's Maradash who is the benchmark, (not Shotz) since he won last year by
over
1 sec.
So Jeff, Please explain why it is OK for someone to take a WS-6,
from SS, PAX = .830 to ESP, with easier PAX 0.822, add mods and be fair to
other ESP folks ? I think there is more than one car wrong with ESP. Either
the PAx
is wrong or the WS-6 is classed wrong too. Can you think of one other car
(besides
these two) that can add mods and get easier classing ?
At least the BMW comes from AS, PAX .815, and gets a harder PAX in ESP....
(This will be in *my* letter to SEB :)
