I'm a firm believer that rules only cost the little guy. No matter who tries to say different, in the end it's a little guy that gets hurt. Take the 602 late model fad, for instance. Now a little guy can't build an engine in his garage from scrounged up parts from the swap meet because that class "requires" 602 engines rebuilt by a certain building in the area.
If you keep it open, more people can scrounge stuff together to race and then they can be innovated in how they make that stuff go fast. Got a small motor - buy someone's good used shocks. Don't have money for adjustable shocks - buy a new tire. Etc.
Yes, someone will outspend you. But now you have the ability to outthink them, instead of being boxed in by the rulebook.
