Steve, the issue isn't that anybody wants to change the class to their liking, the issue is that the class is loosing participation, and very few newcomers are getting into it. That's what this thread is for, new ideas for the future. If the class reamains the same, you will not have a place to race you car, if and a big if, the class picks up because of a different engine package, you will have a place to race in the future.

Walbran may well take the class into the areas where others can't afford it. If you dont know "Jack", then you dont know that he has an annual racing budget that exceeds some incomes on this page. Jack is a great guy, a very smart man but may not be as sensitive to economic issues as some would like. Jay announced that he/Brian were out of F5.- If he is done he's done. He has made suggestions of a V twin powered car. Check out Jays other projects and tell me if you think the rest of us would be on a level field if he got involved in Vtwin cars. What about Mike Q? What about Mr Red Devil Steve J? What about Marsh? Pic some from the non dissenting group. Some of us joined F5 to race the cars as they are. If you want bike motors and shocks then move to f1000. Its that simple. You want to loose the 30 something Y/Os that remain class loyal, who love two strokes and have invested heavily to join? If you want us to leave-then keep telling us how bad the class is and implying that we are waisting money on current technology. In the meantime, while you angerly type, we tune, we smile and we ask our friends to join us. They may well start racing too, as long as they dont read this board of self loathing pessimist. Go drive your car, you may remember how fun it is. Better Yet-Let a non F5 guy-(GT2) drive your car, he will come back and tell you how fast fun and crazy it was. If everyone on this board who suggested a change, would trailer their car to the next race we would have less far less issues. Steven Dodd Texas
