900 hp i had 450 hp and we bumped to 500 hp this year so we will move up to clas 5 because we are team players or is that just a player.

Your certainly within the Class 6 parameters...but maybe HP limits can be implemented into the rules in the future.

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......

It still has to run for more than one race . I think the key here is to have a package that doesn't exceed the wallet and does not have to be taken apart all the time. Save the money for the drives your going to lunch. lol. Just my opinion, unwanted I sure. BW
