No, you are not picking on any one person, you are picking on two classes of
cars P & M,
I run two batteries in my car and a bunch of extra weight to make min but if
the reduce the weight I will be down to one battery. I run somewhat higher
compression than you do and my timing is set a "little" off factory spec so
my car is somewhat hard to start when it is hot or cold.
When I hear all of the "the world coming to an end" because this or that
stock car has been moved to a different class for next year,(and we hear it
every year) I keep my ideas to myself as I don't run stock.
Why don't you pick on STS, let P take care of itself.

I'm not picking on any one person, but this sounds like the driver's
problem, not Impound's. It's not Impound's, or any one else's, fault that a
particular car was built "insufficiently" for the task at hand purely due to
the owner's desires.
Personally, I would never field a car that is prone to overheating by merely
idling in grid, or won't restart under it's own power because it requires an
off-board battery to do so. That's my choice and I would have to live with
the weight penalties. At the same time I refuse to listen to arguments from
someone who runs with no on-board battery or alternator or generator just to
save weight and then cries because their car can't be restarted.
C'mon folks, it's time to get acquainted with a nice little philosophy of
mine called "personal responsibility" in which one accepts all repercussions
from their actions without trying to place the blame on someone else.
