I see it as the 300s are for the wonder kids and that leaves us "Dads" and old guys that want to race on the cheap and battle at the front can run the 250s. granted I do feel I still have the ability to run with the kids IF I wasn't fat and out of shape...and I don't want to build a SS spec 300 to try and run 19s-and 20s at RRR. So it's time for the old fast guys and people like me with a small budget to buy the 250s and race the snot out of them.
