I was just wondering what you guys thought of having a muscle car class, and what rules/year cutoffs, etc. would there be if there was one. I think with the current rules and competition, if you want to win the whole deal you're going to be better off with something much past our muscle car era. Although it's cool to see the protouring cars be competitive, I think it's reached the point competition-wise that they're at a big disadvantage against the current group of cars competing.

I do NOT want to see the newer stuff eliminated, they're the best of the best. Watching the Evo launch in the autocross and win the event or watching Danny Popp just drive away from the fastest group in his 2003 Vette was awesome. Just thought it may be cool to have an older car class, say pre-1980 or whatever.

I agree completely. They want us to come and participate in their events and we want a place to run and feel like we are at least on the same playing field as others. There has to be a way to make it all work and I'm certain the powers that be are crunching numbers to make it work.

There is no reason that the factory late model cars, stockish appearing muscle (PT) cars, and the outlaw over the top race cars on street tires can't all attend the same types of events and share time running together. We are all there for the same common goal. The ruleset just needs a bit of fine tuning to level the fields a bit.
