Dr H Sorry to see your giving up on this, but I never saw it as having any real chance.

There are very few mfgs interested in track performance, especially when it's a mfg v mfg heads up. To much ego and $ at stake. Your rules were a fair bit biased toward your product (at least it separated engine/tire/driver variables out effectively) as you are a VERY small producer, with a very focused product. Not a very friendly situation for companys whose target is to sell larger numbers to people who want a fantasy for show. I agree with someone before who suggested using R&G as the venue, and let customers with various mods have at it. Maybe they could put together a "strictly stock" class, but who would determine what was what. I mean, wasn't R&G started just for this very purpose, to showcase the strengths , and weakness, of various mfgs? Maybe a little flexability is called for.

I think a427sc summed it up the best.....what is the point of rehashing this unworkable idea?
