They're already working on classing the cars. Personally I would expect to see them classed in the upcoming fastrack.

Appendix A is part of the full rule book and is the one that matters. It's a separate link from the "full rule book" for convenience of not having to download the whole thing to find your correct class.

What's everyone's alignment settings? I was thinking of going with 1/8" out up front and 1/16" in on the rear

I don't think these cars need a lot of toe out up front. They turn-in well stock, and I don't want any more tire "scrub" than is absolutely necessary.
I ran more aggressive toe on my STU Z front and rear, but it wasn't as naturally nimble as the twins and had enough torque and power that tire scrub wasn't a concern to me. I stayed in CS with my FRS and have been happy with what I call "ghost toe"....basically zero front and rear but IIRC it's actually 1mm total toe-in rear and half a mm toe out up front. (Almost zero for both) |

I really hope so, it would definitely breath new life into the DS as the older twins are ubiquitous and cheap now. I don't think people realize what a big difference the 5HP combined with the gearing is. A multi-time national champion said the stock 17 BRZ felt like a fully prepped STX twin in terms of power. The top speed in gearing is not enough to make up the difference. It would really kill the 13-16 Twins if allowed in DS, IMHO.

I feel the SEB and its advisory committees have been far more willing to bend to member input than in years past. |

Anyways, it'll be buried in CS most likely. If it does get classed in DS, it'll be on a separate line and will have the potential to get booted if it becomes overdog status. I wouldn't freak out |

The street classes do change a lot. Ten years from now all the 86 variations will probably be in ES together lol

I don't know who DaWorstPlaya is on here but since he's from Denver, I'm sure I know him haha. And I'm also pretty sure he's talking about my former roommate Mayfield, because Chris got a chance to drive Justin's car and said that exact thing.
You're not scared I'm getting a '17 are ya? And don't fret too much, talk to Annie if you want a list of reasons the '17 won't do well in STX apparently hehe. |
