Well said and a classic example of what happens when everyone forgets that
old quote: "we must hang together, or we will surely hang seperately". One
of my heroes said that and I try to remember it.

Yes, but that doesn't make it right! :)

But it does affect me because I plan to field a P car myself someday
soon. Just as the reclassing of Stock cars does affect you since it
affects the club. Remember, nearly 60% of the National's entrants drove
Stock Cars this year.
Your argument reminds me of a story about the whole gun banning scene.
At first the Government banned and confiscated all the evil looking
"assault" weapons. When the owners resisted and were thrown in jail
they lobbied for support from fellow gun owners but were not helped
because in the words of the duck and deer hunters, "no one needs those
kinds of guns". Next they rounded up anything that held over 5 rounds
of ammunition. When the owners of those guns resisted and were jailed
they cried out for help. Their pleas fell upon deaf ears as the duck
and deer hunters didn't think it affected them or that anyone should
have "those types of guns". Next came the handgun roundup and again
after resisting the owners were thrown in jail and the plea for help
went out. But once again the duck and deer hunters didn't rally behind
them because "nobody needs that kind of gun".
Finally they came for the duck and deer guns and the hunters cried for
help, but nobody else was left to fight for them.
Get it? If you, me, everybody doesn't take the smallest issue to heart
it may one day actually be your issue that's at stake and there won't be
anyone left to fight for you.
So yeah, P and M issues do affect me as Stock and STS issues should
affect you.
