What I was getting at was the way CAMS legislates in such a way that imports are not eligible for IPRA, which is arguably the next step up from lapsprints.

There are a whole bunch of guys who have modified their daily past normal levels and run them on the track for run. The next step up would be to run against other cars that are essentially modified versions of street cars. 'Club cars' or later IPRA was once where you would go next. This class no longer exists because IPRA peaked in 1980something and hasn't moved on. Sports sedans was also an avenue but it got pretty exotic and therefore too expensive to get into- and not everyone wants to put a chev and transaxle into their car to keep up.

I think Sports sedans could end up being this category (once again) if they go down the road they seem to be looking at, that is multiple categories. This has IPRA and others with their knickers in a knot. The way I see it- if other classes want to ignore the grassroots enthusiast then damn them to obscurity.
