I laughed this morning as I read the post of Cory. It seems that the "strokers" want the class split up again and because they haven't been able to accomplish this with the crude back stabbing methods that they've come to rely upon they've decided to go this route.

My personal opinions (not speaking for the Ad Hoc Committee):
[FONT=Segoe UI, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]1. The 2-stroke/CVT and MC/sequential manual are incompatible and can never be equalized. One group or the other will always believe they are the underdog. This is not breaking news. Dix and others have been waving this flag since day one.[/FONT][FONT=Segoe UI, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]Dix doesn't have a clue nor a voice as he hasn't raced in years. Everyone that hasn't raced due to the the class merging is purely a show of ignorance. The back markers think they can win, everyone knows they can't but at the same time everyone wants to see the retarded kid solve the calculus problem no matter how long it takes.[/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]2. After this year, there will be another wave of 2-stoke guys who will either quit completely or put their cars in the garage indefinitely. The number of MC cars in not growing nearly fast enough to offset the loss of 2-stroke cars. The 5+ year-old civil war in the class is keeping new people on both sides from joining the class. The slow death of the class will accelerate. [/FONT][FONT=Segoe UI, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]The number of MC cars currently represent over 40% of the majors races and 35% of the super tour races. I wouldn't say that the growth isn't there considering that half of the MC crowd said screw SCCA when they imposed the 30mm restrictor. More said screw the AD-HOC committee for imposing the 29mm restrictors when there was no need.......A TWO STROKE WON the 2016 Runoffs MORONS........ So, I would say that on its third year of running majors level events that the MC crowd isn't doing too bad. If it wasn't for the "geriatrics club" the MC cars would represent 46% of the class on the majors level and 41% on the super tour level. Better hope people can continue to pass physicals or else the MC crowd will have the majority sooner than later.[/FONT]
3. Even though the 593 is the wildcard between the 2 proposed classes, all 3 proposals effectively create a 2-stroke class and an MC class. Separate classes and a defined timeline for resolution of the civil war will draw back 2-stroke guys and encourage new participation in both classes. The future will be clear - F500/600 will revert to a 2-stroke class, become an MC class or die.This comment is too dumb to comment on.
[FONT=Segoe UI, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif]3. In the event that the 2-stroke class survives, we can address engine supply and parity after the transition period. For example, if options 1 or 2 are implemented, we could bring the 593 back into F500 after the transition. Alternately, if option 3 is implemented, we could do whatever we want with the 593 restrictor after the transition.[/FONT][FONT=Segoe UI, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif] The AD-HOC committee finally admits that the 493 an 494 is the underdog by saying " run the 493,494 and heavily restrict the 593" as a option. If the two stroke crowd is going to accept the fact that they have been lied to this entire time by the people who own the 593 saying " the 593 has the same power as the 493 and 494 " are in my opinion deserving what they get coming to them. I laughed the hardest when I read the " [/FONT]if option 3 is implemented, we could do whatever we want with the 593 restrictor after the transition "comment. It shows the true intent of the "strokers" agenda. It's not to grow the class , its to destroy it by dividing the class numbers.
