    I am not sure why anyone would choose to race a fairmont in the first place. :twisted:

    So like welfare, government run health care, Stalinism, Communism and the like, the rules should penalize the haves to cater to the have-nots ...

    I guess the low car counts reflects a "rules recession" of sorts ...

    Using the rulebook to create a competitive class out of different chassis is nothing new...

    The CONCEPT for the series should define the rulebook, not the other way around.

    Unless I'm mistaken, the Camaro-Mustang Challenge is all about racing Muatangs and Camaros. If something isn't done to establish parity between the two marques, it'll just be the Camaro-Camaro challenge, as Varner so aptly put it.

    It's not about being fair and letting the superior car win. It's about establishing parity so on any given weekend, any well-driven car that's prepped to the maximum under the rules has a good chance of winning.

    We've seen what happens when parity isn't maintained by the sanctioning body -- It's what killed CanAm. Porsche decided to dominate the series by dumping a lot of cash into their CanAm effort and dominated to the point where other teams moved on to other series where they had a ghost of a chance of winning.

    Personally, I like the way the SCCA does things in World Challenge -- If you win, your minimum weight gets raised until you stop winning. That TOTALLY changes the nature of the series, from the teams perspective. from the fan's perspective, it means lots of close racing with no one team dominating the season.
