steve, all your other opinions are lost on us ;-), once you claimed your region was the most competitive in the country, we all assumed the rest of your post was in jest as well…I thought everyone agreed the mid-atlantic region was the most competitive in the country.
all kidding aside, not that anyone cares what my opinion is but I say no to the spec 3 cars, that are not as developed as the e30s, so it is to hard to balance the two classes, and I say no to the convertible, once your in the draft that convertible top doesn’t matter and the rest of the benefits are an advantage.
[quote=“Steve Ferrario” post=75127]The simple fix to the so called shortage of cheap spec e30’s—Just allow Verts to the class…There are about 17 billion of these available & you can find build cars all day long for $200-500.
Some of you on the forum will debate the unfair advantage of the Vert until the cows come home. I’d like to know from all of you if the perception of this unfair advantage is fact or fiction? How many of you have actually ever raced a vert spec e30? How many of you have ever done a side by side or back to back test with a Vert vs sedan?
All the theory aside, the Vert has only a handful of actual advantages. 1. Easy access for building a cage. 2.Easy access for ingress/egress.3. Less surface area when you are washing your car 4. Can work on your tan while driving. Beyond that, whatever unfair advantage arguments you want to throw at me, I will call BULLSHIT cuz you don’t know because you don’t own the only legal spece30 in NASA, I do. And my experience after running an entire season of spec e30 in the most competitive region in the country suggests NO unfair advantage.
Allowing Verts to be in the class would probably provide another decade or 2 of spec e30 racing should sedan donor cars simply dry up.[/quote]
