It has always amazed me how the newcomers to a class, any class in SCCA, always want to reinvent the class to their liking (so it will be 'easier' for them to win - since they have 'expertise' in the changes they want).
The hallmarks of F440/F500, since 1984 at least, have been - 2 stroke, water cooled 440/500cc engine CVT Transmission Suspension medium = Elastomer 1" thick x 2" diameter 10 inch wheels 80" maximum wheelbase 55" maximum width The basic concepts of the class have worked well for the past 22 years and I don't see any compelling reason for those hallmarks to be changed at this time. F500 is not 'just another Formula class' at present and if it were to become 'just another Formula class' it would become totally invisible in the plethora of the other Formula classes. F500 is what it is! The biggest bang for the buck in SCCA racing!
