I consider a T/A as much of a sport compact as a Supra, but the T/A is lighter(ok maybe not in this case)...

I stopped in at MAP a while back when in Mpls. They said the track came to them and asked them to put a sport compact event together and pretty much said that they wanted it to be a sport compact exclusive event. Now, I don't disagree about the TA not being any less compact than a Supra, but I think the track owners/mgmt feel that it is more of their "traditional" type of race car (american car with a SBC V8). From what they (MAP) told me, they tried to get them to relax the rules, but the track was pretty adamant about their rule on this for this event so it was out of MAP's hands.

Just passing along the info that I have heard straight from the horses mouth.

Does anyone know if the track is open Thursday night for us to get in?
