As an outsider looking in, just getting into class 6. I can truthfully say that reading on here and talking to others about the HP needed to play and be competitive in class 6 is nauseating & a bit of a deterrent
Luckily I'm not easily intimidated & am building a motor to put me on the same, or close to the same playing field as others.
Now if the hp parameters for 6 changed I'd be pissed.
A monster has been created. To change to hp caps now could possibly drive away more racers than it would potentially attract.

Also from my talks with and listing to opa staff & insurers. This extreme class talk is just that....talk to kill them winter blues.
It would never fly......

I cant see how a 650 or 700hp limit in Class 6 would hurt turnout. I tend to agree with the Combat Zone guys...I bet there are a handful of guys who come on here interested in the Class to read about guys with 900hp and feel like they shouldnt bother.

K.I.S.S. really needs to go into effect. Enforce the 500hp rule for 6 and make the rest that want to run bigger power move up to 5. Why thats so hard to understand is beyond me but as long as they have a good turnout I guess nothing will change.
A huge class 5 or even 5/6 combined would be a kicka$$ class

500. Combining 5 & 6 will never happen, it would be a step backward.
