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......

AGREED!! I think we might bow out gracefully this year being we only have 615 hp! It would be cheaper for us 3 to just fly to all the race sites and watch!

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.
