SCCA Class Reshuffle

[Dezoris]

Someone must hate the CR owners that is all it is. SS is absurd since the car is basically an AP2 with AP1 parts. More balanced, yes but nothing, sway bar, pads and tires cant fix on an AP1 and AP2.

The camber correction proposal getting axed blows.

We all know that the person (or team) with the largest budget has the best shot at a win.

Ahem... the whole point of stock to street IS to make autocrossing competitively cheap(er) ... if we are still under the guise of "gotta pay to play" give me my goddamn R-comps back


what a catch22, no one will ever win this game.

I am kind of happy about it. One less thing I have to worry about setting up on the car and I don't have to look forward to people showing up with their "stock" cars on trailers and 3.5* of camber dialed in.

Yeah while the camber allowance is relatively easy and cheap on our cars, there are others it isn't. I wrote in against it, I don't think it's necessary with a move to street tires.

I understand why, its bad for a stock class. But alignment is a critical part of handling.
The fact that there is no factory adjustment on a car like this for camber is annoying as it is. And then to have some cars with horrible cross camber differences from factory makes the need for correction important.

A strong case for this is when, two stock cars one from factory with -1.5 camber in the back another with near zero. So basically its crap shoot do you get lucky or how do you cheat to get a better alignment. Should not come down to that.

keep in mind that this Appendix A was put together with the intent that the new
camber rule would be in place. since the camber rule has been withdrawn there will be
and should be some movement in classes for Rev 2.

having said that, i have no problem with the CR being buried in SS. they should put
the CS trunk kit cars there too... ;-)

370z vs RX-8 vs twins should be a fun battle, as long as it isn't a power course.

Local will be a little lame next year as we have ~9 RTR (so C-Street) regulars but 7 of them are in NB Miatas which are going to E. No Stock RX8s or Zs around me.
