I'm all for a class for Hybrids as I've posted in another forum.
You all can go round and round about what is/isn't allowed.
I just want to be a part of the Hybrid class regardless of where you put me.
I'll just be there for the fun...
Well put.. could not have said it better!

Folks were raising h*ll about the rules being too stringent so we will have the above set for the "Open Comp." sub-class. As you can see there really are no rules. If both have a great turnout then we will keep them both, if one is severely lackin more than the other then the better of the two will stay. I can tell you this though - If there isn't a decent turnout I will be hard pressed to have any ammo to push for a second year so let's have a good showing.
