There's talk about promoting the class and there's very few downsides to the class, except no shocks, and no gears, and everything is done to keep it that way. I think if peoples minds are opened up to these ideas, the class will grow with new blood. CR

I have looked at every car out there & the toughest conversion would be our older Novakars. Thanks ...

No. The difference would be who has a chassis designed for that spec shock. If you change the rules to mandate a spec shock, all the existing chassis' will be obsolete overnight, because they ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR SHOCKS. Unless you allow freedom to select the shock to match the chassis, you will have to by whatever chassis is best suited to the spec shock in order to be competitive. If you allow freedom to select the shock to match the chassis, you will have $1500 shocks. TANSTAAFL [There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch] MM --------------------------------- Talk is cheap.
