What if the Pro-8 went the same route as the Pro-10 and allowed you to dial either 8.50 or 9.00?

That would bring more drivers into the competitive mix and also protect against cars not certified beyond 8.50.

I suppose anything is possible.

Before we go that route let's take into account I have fought to keep the Pro 8 for two years and if you guys want something different then my efforts would have been in vain.

I have already been told by two Pro 8 regulars they will focus on other 8.50 racing and will attend ours if they do not conflict and two have their cars for sale.

Probably a better choice to have the remaining drivers focus on slowing to 10.0
