Adding 200tw (participation trophies) does not dilute classes at all, but by adding extra drivers increases the likelihood that the class is eligible for contingency. So please sign up scca drivers!

The top drivers in TX TT4 will likely have better times than the top drivers TT3 this season...unless you and Ken come back...

Bought used and can’t recall mfg but it is American made and is more than 15 years old. No problems. Recommend aluminum ramps.
