 So you think that a 1 1/4" roll bar that might "god forbid" killed your dad
if had kept racing, would have been better for the sport? A 10 year run in
car???  That's awesome!!!  Try that in any other competitive class...
   Was that motor change the Kawasaki's that were no longer availible, or
the AMW that blew up???  Sounds like a good reason to switch engines...

ROOL HOOP SIZE IN THE SAME YEAR KILLED A 10YR THING. THANKS GREG

Jay, with all due respect, numbers from a single division don't mean much.
I believe Formula Mazda had fewer entries in NEDiv than F500 had in PacNW -
there's only one car campaigning there. I don't see anyone lamenting the
imminent demise of FM, and certainly nobody is trying to radically change
the
rules to prop it up. I believe that if you look at FV in PacNW, you'll see
very
low numbers, as well. F500 is centered in SEDiv, NEDev, CENDiv, and
MWDiv -
so let's look at what the marketers call 'same-store sales' if we're going
to honestly evaluate participation.

If we got all the cars out to the track, I think we'd be in fine shape; my
fear is that a radical change to the ruleset will guarantee that many of
those
cars will stay in the garage.
