Really I see this as being two separate issues.

The intent of SS was to remove the gazillion dollar barrier so that people who "think they might want to race, but don't want to spend the mega dough to find out" could give it a try. I think putting accomplished racers in the class, even on street bikes, would be quite a deterrent for someone just wanting to get their feet wet.

IF the membership would like to add a class called "Formula No Tech" or "Formula Street Bike" - which specifically allows for the scenarios that Ben and Dave are discussing - then that's a totally different animal in my opinion. Brand new riders probably don't belong in this class for obvious reasons.

So, put that in your pipeline and discuss it!

Ps. Davey G - Jeremiah Weed is headed your way!
