I agree with your opinion, in theory. One exception is "People want to hold back (retard) the class for there own personal gain". Joe Pigford suggested some form of a "cap" to discourage spending at levels unobtainable to 80% of our current members. I've been racing a long time and have NEVER heard the quickest car (and a racer with a large budget) suggest to penalize (limit) HIMSELF. He obviously enjoys the class, and is concerned with the big picture. Car count is essential to the success and continued growth of the TPSA, and costs definitely impact participation. We have some great sportsmen in the group who have said "run 'em and we'll do our best to catch up". Others are convinced this is some type of ploy to undermine their dominance, should they be able to achieve the necessary performance. Still others would like to see adjustments but have no idea where to start. Joe Pigford's unsolicited, selfless gesture is to be admired......... ask yourself what YOU would have done? -- Texas Pro Stock Association Message Board

[> [> the first thing i would do is find out what he is smoking and drugf test him before he drives. why would someone build a one off reher motor and then slow it down. why not race a 5.00 index if the only goal is to slow down. the people on this forum make no cents. race heads up but if someone is fast stop the presses. why not just race dulleys or motorhomes -- just wondering, 10/12/06 3:44pm
