I've heard cat-back exhausts will not be open

Really hope this isn't the case, but we will see.

I have it on very good authority that a ruling on making catbacks illegal has not even come up for discussion. I wouldn't worry about that too much.

Yea not trying to start some trolling, but it's been presented to me by a SEB member that the whole "street prep levels will apply" may not be the case.

My contact is also a SEB member and completely denies that.

At this point, I'm doing nothing until some rules are published.

Shark_Bait88 · 09-25-2017, 11:40 AM

Would've been nice if they'd flushed this all out a bit better before announcing, but as I understand it SEB wasn't even fully aware of the details (lacking as they are) until the Town Hall too.

I just think restricting the catback is silly. The lightest exhaust is ~$100 muffler delete. So there's no cost barrier, no secret sauce $3,000 option that will make people with deep pockets faster. Plus, these cars are super quiet stock, and I like to be able to hear VROOM VROOM noises and where I'm at within the RPM range.

My SEB contact says to write your letters now saying you want Street rules for catbacks.

Likewise. There is no SSC option so I sent my letter to Events Board. Should I send again to another class under SOLO?

It probably doesn't matter - Doug will route them to the right people.

Done. If they restrict cat-back there's a good chance I stay in street.

Odd. Just ordered the SSC parts from TR, except the Konis (out of stock), and I wasn't asked for my SCCA membership #.
