x2 on needing more events to let the class grow naturally. FWIW - I think the trans setup we have in DirtyMax would be a VERY SMALL advantage. We still have a converter for torque multiplication, but also lockup for the top end, combined with a high-efficiency and durable transmission. Only the last part is any different than an OEM trans - it is higher efficiency (less losses in the geartrain) and more durable. The precise shifting can be obtained with an OEM trans and a standalone trans controller.
As I mentioned before, I think the Danco could probably make some good qualifying passes but would be just too hard to launch consistently.
The biggest thing I would like to see is to keep the rules stable for at least a few races to allow the class to grow. Even people who had issues that kept them from attending were already building their trucks around the specified rules. I personally don't think the Danco & Lenco transmissions would be much if any advantage, but since the rules already forbid them then let's leave them as is.
I think what they are getting at is DirtyMax doesn't need a class. Nor do most want DirtyMax to drop down for many different reason. Make it so those trucks can't drop down. This class is an attempt to get the quantity of trucks back. If you have a truck set up with a Danco or something. Why would you even be interested in class honestly? Other than to maybe see what it would do with a 2.6 there should be no reason a Danco equipped truck would even want to drop to this class. Unless of course they are scared of the class they are in. I do see the point on both sides. But going back to the purpose of this class. I would also agree that they should be left out. Dennis your event and rules have a very big influence in other organizations and peoples rigs. Lots of people build their trucks just to compete with your rules and Scheids. The others know that. What they want to avoid is these people doing such builds and not being able to run in the other events for this class due to this one simple rule. I hope you take it all into consideration before making a decision. Regardless AirDog will be here to support the class, the event and the racers.
