That is totally crazy! Congrats Dave, you worked for it.
I think for me that about sums up any future TSO rules discussions. The cars are going way faster than ever before. I don't see anyone building a new car to enter TSO.
We have talked about a lot of things in the past regarding the class and trying to limit it. I think it's way too far-gone to try and limit it with parts and weight. Dave's car is running so fast why would he ever want to change it?
I've said it before but I move to change TSO to be an index class. No way to limit the power without someone having to spend a lot of money. No way to attract more racers, who would want to spend that much to maybe have a combination to try and compete? Limit the ET in an index to say 8.80 or 8.90. Dave, Ted, Tony, etc. can keep their really fast combinations and be allowed to race whatever class but when it comes to racing TSO they need to turn it down. Just a thought, I don't see any way to limit the ET and make it competitive for the class without it always turning into a select few having a distinct advantage and everyone else breaking parts to catch up.
Sorry for hijacking the thread. I’d like to have a rules discussion but I just don’t see one happening for a while.
