Probably a big reason that many are racing and considering racing in NASA.

Greg's Terry Heath story just shows that anytime you want to make a class change or jump, make sure you do your full homework ahead of time. Best to get pre-approval (in writing) for the update/backdate - otherwise you are risking your wknd of fun (and $ invested) in the hands of a potentially unknowledgeable scrutineer.
See photo below of a Kelly Moss Firehawk car taken at Road Atlanta during an '89 Firehawk race (note the door mirrors, steel hood, and sunroof).
Any of you S2 guys that want to run in E at Firehawk weight: yes, this picture is for sale....
