"Lots of excuses why guys can't or won't run N/SS. But in reality it's not that restrictive.

If someone has a workable answer to fix car count, we'd all benefit. But changing the rules has never worked. This is a great and fun class to run in. Showing up is part of the fix.
I agree with both of these!
Rules have been "relaxed", things allowed, things added and years added. The folks dont show up. I put my car back together after a not so pleasant divorce in 2011 and went NSS racing on the 10.50 index. The cost complaining simply is not anymore than other induction combos.
It is a fun class to run.Try it rather than trying to change it. You just might find that you enjoy it.
As far as the induction conversation goes, I dont think it is as restrictive as you think...
