Stock class is named Stock, because it's truly meant for stock cars. If you have rims and lowering springs, the car is not stock. The two can add up to quite a bit of gains if chosen carefully. The points are meant to represent the best possible setup for a given mod, not the worst. For example, that's why coilovers are all given the same value, regardless of if you have $500 ebay coilovers or $9000 race coilovers.

I agree, there is a slight gain.
BBK is allowed 0 points because it will help with attendance in the long run, i just saw this as a possible thing to point out. The point system seems great and in depth to be but if we are talking about getting the newcomer guy to be involved I would see that slight allowance as a help to getting them involved.
I know most lightly modified newcomers don't even think about competing and bumping them into a more aggressive class doesn't help. This is all based on the premise that i think a lot of average guys buy wheels, tires, and lowering springs. Just would be nice for most guys to show up seeing they're in the "slowest" class and to not be indimiated.
Just throwing this out for discussion, the 0.5 would actually favor the purpose built "stock car imo as it also aligns with SCCA solo stock class more.
