Ladies ladies, I am sorry Mike I have to agree, sort of, with Dingy.
10 of anything would be better than 10 of nothing.
Granted You should pick spec, proven times, BUT most importantly, availability.
They thing is if you want to enter, or enter a team, then the list should be unlimited. If there were 100 cars on the list, even the std sierra 2wd at no. 98 would probably get to run, filling the shoes of the ''big boys'' who cannot make it for one excuse or another.
And an excuse is an excuse what ever the circumstances, so should n't be laughed at or scorned.
Martin could n't do it- for obvious reasons, I guess if Kev could have he would have, and same goes for who ever else 'was gonna but didn't'.
My excuse for the record would have been ;
#1. Car won't start
It is n't life or death, it's a laugh surely
