Thanks Jack,
You know I love you and what you do for the SVRA. Wasn't trying to throw you
under the bus, but you did seem a little extra cranky.
As for me having wisdom and influence... its a pretty desperate world, when
people are counting on me to be logical and influential.
That said, I will get with Steve and Howard and see if we can push this idea
further. It would make a great niche for HSR and help differentiate HSR from
SVRA, which I think is still sorely needed.

My "tone" comes from the fact that I am a curmudgeon, but also is mostly to
be taken with a grain of salt. Apparently some folks cannot differentiate my
dry humor from outright personal assault. Do I need to filter my thoughts
here?
However, I might add that I have many supporters who echo my thoughts and who
have had the wisdom and courtesy not to post them on the open forum.
As to the HSR concept, I have brought this and other similar ideas up over
the past few years. However, I have no influence there. It makes perfect sense
to me. They might have one or two classes just for the later spec production
cars. No need for another race group. Most would fit right into Group 2. I
would further keep them on slicks.
This actually ties in to the Walter Mitty theme that was the reason HSR even
exists.
Tim, you have influence and wisdom. Why don't you carry the water on this?
