Some really interesting stuff in this one - swaybar and crash bolt allowances in Stock, new classes for Street Touring and Street Prepared...
Plenty of shit to argue about! :mrgreen:
I didn't see anything about relaxing the pre-cat requirements in ST* as was mentioned previously. Does that mean its dead, sleeping, or just not on this month's agenda?
That means it is still out for member comment. Once a decision is reached it willbe posted in Fastrack.Quote:

Wait what? Must read....
I think it would fall under the under 3.2L NOC (not otherwise classed)
I expect they will be on an exclusion list.Quote:

I think the Cayman is just too heavy, and its really built for track speed, not super-tight stuff. Really, its hard to say since so few people develop high-dollar cars like these for autocross-only situations.
Cosmos claims the Lotus needs the grip of R-comps to be able to take advantage of its abilities, and the Cayman won't like being limited to 255's.
STR is the biggest thing at the SCCA since R-comps. They are not going to do anything that would mess it up.Quote:

I do expect them to be excluded along with the Lotus.
I think I hear pitch forks being sharpened by 1000's of Miata and S2000 owners;)
SCCA mess something up? What are the odds? (cough, wrong-wheel drive, cough, high HP, cough, soft pax, cough)Quote:

Nope, not interesting at all. R.I.F.Quote:

Competitors currently competing in a car that is covered by an "NOC" classing are advised to request specific classing in order to maintain eligibility. "
Now who would spend lotus, cayman s, or nsx money to prep a car for a class they can't compete in anywhere other than regionals (and then only at the discretion of the region). Especially when the cars are nationally competitive already--and quite fun--in stock classing.

I don't see anywhere it says that it's at the discretion of the region.
You can get into an NXS or Elise for well under 30K.
