If removing my ABS is part of the resolution, then I'll remove it. Sure, I'd prefer to keep it, but there is no option from GM that is remotely close to the Ford system. A Bosch 10.4 is out of the question for 95% of the competition.
Adding weight to ANY ABS equipped car is bs. Selectively adding weight to the Ford Racing ABS cars maybe an option but isn't necessarily a long term resolution. (See example below)
We have multiple issues in the class, and a variety of things need to be done. The Ford Racing ABS is my biggest issue.
Two classes aren't going to fix car counts. Although I think the concept of AI2 is cool, I generally agree that it helps no one for contingency/car count.
The concept of the class is to showcase aftermarket parts. Continual restrictions to the cars don't help, and there sure isn't a lot being showcased right now. Not much to showcase from GM in the first place.
The solution may come along the lines of an ST/TT-styled points system.
Example:
Say baseline is 8.0:1 hp/tq:weight. No ABS baseline, Factory ABS add +0.1, Ford Racing ABS add +0.5, Bosch Racing ABS add ??. Use the weight tables, use whatever system. I really can't see adding 200 pounds to Dean's car that already weighs 3650, and at 9.5:1 his car can't be choked down any more. Everybody can make more horsepower, but everybody can't have a wicked ABS system.
I could care less if the Grand Am/WCGTS cars are eligible or not, but Ford Grand Am/WCGTS cars can't come and play because they sure won't rip out the ABS for the weekend. Chevy Grand Am/WCGTS cars are illegal per the rules due to the rear suspension.
Many topics should be visited along these lines. Find the AI2 thread and have a good read on some of the items.
More to discuss later. I'm always available for a call.
