yea

Open class.

We don't have a 5.5 fleet around here, and I plan on doing a lot of distance racing, so I could care less about it being legal for a 5.5 "class". Open racing is "open racing"

However, They will be the same size, shape, etc.. (Made from a mold of a brand new dagger)
But technically no, they won't be legal for a 5.5 class race.

Doesn't look like it's going to happen at this point anyway, as I havn't recieved any emails regaurding them.

The whole idea was to have something stiffer, cheaper. Apparently no one is interested
