TM, I agree that I could use practice (allot of it), but I believe that the Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge should be for, well, muscle cars to race against each other. I like to watch race cars race too, but this isn't called the "Texas RACE Car Club Challenge". Race cars can race any weekend against other race cars, let the muscle cars have their 8 or so races a year, and leave the transbrake,4 linked,etc. race cars (along with the 19 second diesel trucks, CRAIG) at home. It seems as though we are catering to the race cars by adding classes to accomodate them, and forgetting the real reason this series was started... for muscle cars to race. I will continue to race in the TMCCC with my old 4 speed, but at least it will be in my muscle car, which is what the TMCCC was set up for. I think Craig "gets it"...and he runs a slushbox vehicle most of the time.
