Since this is based on track events, I would see it as unnecessary and detrimental to align classes with an autocross series as they (at least in my mind) are very different types of driving. While I understand that many people do both and that the SCCA might try to do so between their respective series, this is not that case. As I read the rules, it looks like they were drawn from years of track racing experience and somewhat resemble NASA rules/structure.
While it would be nice if the rules allowed for you to stay in certain classes between this series and say, NASA TTD, it should not be a guiding principal. Keep in mind that these rules are written with just the 86 in mind, whereas larger sanctioning bodies have to account for tens, if not hundreds of types and makes of vehicles and what will keep the playing field as level as possible.

As an aside on the rule complexity though, here is the rule book: http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/...%20October.pdf

I was looking at it from SCCA Solo (including the Time Trials program) perspective as this is a one make series essentially. This would attract a great number I feel. I can't say it comes completely unbiased but I have tried to separate my personal side out of it as much as possible.

As an experiment in the current points system, my car (mods listed in my signature) would be a -0.50 and in the Stock Class. If you put me on lower TW tires (i.e. RS3), I would be at 0.50 and still in the Stock Class. Compared to C Street, you guys get to have some nicer suspension bits, but cannot maximize its potential with an alignment whereas I choose to forego the fancy suspension in favor of an alignment (assuming we are on 220+ TW tires, otherwise you're up a class). Two different ways of compensating for the vertical load and lateral force transferred to the tires; which one works better is what competition is all about. However, if I were to do the mods I plan on doing at some point for NASA TTD rules, I suddenly bump up to to the Modified Class. Most of this is all secondhand on my part as I have never participated in the 86 Cup, nor do I know how people with certain mods did in comparison to others with different mods, but in the same class. My interest is in hopefully working with @raul in the future to help expand his vision for a Southeast 86 Cup. One suggestion I could see is a more even gradation/breakdown of the suspension mods, to allow for non-adjustable shocks, 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, external reservoirs connected to the shock body, remote external reservoirs etc....In most other categories you progressively added in 0.125 or 0.25 increments but the suspension piece went in full 0.50 increments.

Sways also were already allowed in the previous rule set. Instead of 2 sets which would be double we would not just allow 1 set. Lastly wheels were already allowed in last years stock class and I believe most people would just run the stock wheels since we can't go wider anyways. |

AD08Rs (much more realistic though 180TW) would be right under 800 for 4 in 215/45R17
