It makes the most sense to class them in CS & STR. I just wonder if the SCCA doesn’t want to do that because Mazda is one of their biggest sponsors.

Also Beeville Tx was an amazing site! LOTS of super grippy concrete. I will be back there next time they hold an event. It’s the closest thing to Lincoln concrete for anyone in Texas.

245 or 255 A052’s? Which are you using? It looks like they run pretty wide and the 255 may be a tiny bit pinched?

The weird thing is the 255 is cheaper than the 245.

They only made 500 of these in America, so it doesn’t meet the 1000 minimum units to be SCCA legal. I know, stupid rule.
