People need to stop using prices seen in classifieds as a basis for the cost of a class. There are always guys that will overspend, rules or not. There are guys with 305's that cost more than some 360's just like there are guys with 360's that cost more than some 410's. But more and more people take that as the status quo for the class. This type of mentality does not help to get new people in the sport.
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen people come to talk with drivers/crew about what it costs to go racing and their reply starts with a "if you have to ask you can't afford it" or similiar type replies. This does nothing to help get people involved.
