Hey Fred,
Doug Crossman is the official E class "advocate." I'm sure he can help you with your questions. His email is same as the one I'm sure you already have.

This is a great idea. What's happening with it?

In theory it is, but to get a D car competitive (if any of the other classes reduce weight) will require the use of a LOT of carbon fiber or allowed engine mods. there is no way a Stock D car in it's current form can hit a sub 2:10 at the Glen, and if it could it still would not be in the top 10%...
