First, SCCA does not have a 'current regime'. It is a representative democracy, and ad hominens only make you look like a QAnon politician spreading weird tinfoil conspiracies about pizza shops butchering children. You're smarter than that, Thomas, so give it a break.
Second, SCCA has made room for a grab bag of orphaned formula classes, with each of them free to grow into their own potentially National class. Yes, they're corraled into one class (FX), but it isn't to protect FE. Meanwhile, FV, FF, and FC remain healthy and safe from potential consolidation. At least FB has been given the chance to surplant the traditional FA cars on the top rung of the Formula category instead of being castrated to fit into FX. Personally, I could live with either outcome, but it strikes me that FB has been treated more than fairly.
Third, IMO your smear of the tin top and sedan classes is completely unwarranted. They have not prolifereated in any demonstrable way. Yes, the BoD have created GTX, but it serves the same role as FX and PX ... giving room to potential classes to run in Nationals without creating a grab bag of problematic new classes. What other new tin top classes have been promulgated in the past decade?
Yes, FB can 'go its own way' outside SCCA, but that seems counterproductive to me.
