I might add something about forests and trees....the cost effectiveness of FC (also FF, FV) and what you get out of it is light years ahead of many other SCCA classes. People complain about engine cost, but even the pinto is cheap compared to a DSR, CSR, FA, GT1, etc. engine. Yes, we have costs, and addons, and tweak of the week- but ask a front runner what it costs to prepare a showroom stock car these days, or the maintanence cost of a GT1. I continue to believe the FC class gives the best bang for the buck of any racing I know.
We're not trying to change what FC is, nor eliminate someone's ability to buy a "real race car" for $9,000-14,000 and successfully compete at the regional level for less than $1,000 a weekend- It can be done now, and that won't change if this proposal is implimented. We are trying to assure and enhance the viability and growth of the class for the future. As of the last two years, it has stopped growing.
