    It was too bad the class didn't work. But, it was very good for Geico. Numerous championships while racing no one....

    when the turbine class idea came across JC.s desk . he said NO!!!! They catch on fire ! too much risk ,never enough participants ,
    He had already gone thru that disaster.

    Finally after 5 teams commited he put turbine back on the roster.

    i never cared for the class myself ,but it did garner attn.
    Throw enough $$$$$ at something and people get involved.
    I always liked team tho,
    haggin was a hoot.
