I cannot read/understand everything in all the posts above,
but I can tell you that the ET classes are not a simple solution for everybody who can break out in a Super class.
We (I crew for Paul Vrinds Chevette) have tryed Pro ET at Santa Pod a couple of times and it aint easy. To qualify you have to be spot on your dial in. At last Euro Finals we ran 0.02 above and ended up 18th of the 46 entries.
At the 2006 Euro Finals Paul was runner-up in Pro ET with 41 entries, so it's not impossible to do well between the much more experienced Brit's.
Running the same ET is very difficult without the help of a weatherstation, because the air changes so much and the reflects in your ET. Then there is the 0.500 sportsman tree, that's a whole other game compared to the 0.400 Pro tree!
Electronics (delaybox and trottlestop controllers) are forbidden in the UK's ET classes.
You still have to deal with the breakout rule. So in eliminations when you are more than half a carlength in front when you approach the line you better lift.
So all in all it is not so much easier then running in a Super class.
Luckily for us at Santa Pod you get to make 7 qualifying runs on a day compared to a lousy 2 a day at Hockenheim. That alone gives you much more practise time that we all need so much.
Tony Morris couldn't have said it better,
you need to adapt to a class and not try to get a class adapt to your car!
