Your statement is more than fair and I don't disagree.

I think the weight limit is fine where it's at and my argument is not to reduce it. There are certainly trucks that come out and run pretty smooth just about every time (Atley, Deeters...etc). If you reduce it 500# I think you will just see more trucks not being able to get down a good pass.

One of the things I like most about SS is it's no longer a "who's got the most power" class. It's a drivers (and set-up) class and it should stay that way but be careful making rule changes and still make it a spectator worthy class. I have been hearing complaints for years that it takes forever for the trucks to get into the throttle. Even with the unlimited mods they are in it sooner than SSD 4x4 on most tracks.
