I do not need to call you anything. I just challenge your perception that it is the small budget FV participants that are in the majority. Possibly if choose a criteria that include even the most casual racer you might find the haves and have-nots about equal. If you weight the criteria using race participation numbers then the haves are clearly in control. I am not sure you are after catering to the majority in that case... are you?
The 'fact is' that there is no known correlation between cost reduction and FV class participation numbers. The class is dying and there is no known fix. SCCA and road racing are dying and there is no know fix. Those of us who have raced for decades just want live out the rest of our racing careers in a manner that is most enjoyable to us.... that means on slicks. We are not interested in unproven efforts to save FV.. SCCA.. or road racing.
