I have a 4-link, wheelie bars, and hoosier tires. That puts me at 3450lbs with ~1200hp.

Certainly doesn't seem right being almost the same weight as Alan, but keep in mind that you didn't build a milan combination. You built it for Canada without regard for Milan, and by pure luck you fit into Milans rules(what little rules there are, just making a point)
Now on to my HiJack tangent...
In the beginning of the Milan class, it was only meant for n/a racers to have a local place to sow their heads up racing oats... and have fun on a friday night. It was made clear over and over that this was never meant to be a serious class.
It was also made clear back to Milan, that we are all serious about n/a racing... rightfully so and that we needed rule structure to harness the class. Well maybe thats the correct approach and maybe it's not.
To date I've not seen a rule structure work in a true n/a heads up class, other than NHRA.
And it's because of this - There are a minority of people who have the capacity to race successfully in an n/a heads up class. And by capacity, I mean Funds, Ingenuity, Ethic, and Energy.
The majority who do not have that capacity get worn out spending the money, the time, basically their livelyhood to race car at an extreme level...
That's not a slight against anyone nor am I speaking to anyone, but lets take Butch for example(sorry Butch)
The guy has been at it for 8 years or more full throttle. The guy is a machine in all departments. Funds, Ingenutiy, Work Ethic, and Energy... I'd like to think I can compete with that but.... in the face of reality, probably not.
Regardless of a rule structure, few people are going to have the capacity to stick with it in a continual development atmosphere. That may not be a popular statement, but it's a fact, based on the years that I have been involved in this kind of racing. Pure fact. Again, that is not a negative statement toward anyone because really in some way I see as positive that people get smart, and move on with their lives with better priorities...
Family, work, money, etc... Lets face it, this racing is nothing but a time of life robbery, and you could only do worse with your money by blowing it on CRACK.
My end all points are that with a rule structure, or without a rule structure, there will be bitching and complaining. There will be parity issues, and there will be a loss of competitors.... and the class will have a small field.... just based on all of the above.
And lastly I could not care less either way if the class was heavily structured or not. Won't really change the outcome.
