nope, but only the fronts are different, and only by 10lb/in

Contrary to my (and other's) interpretations of the August '98 FasTrack
announcement
(http://www.scca.org/news/tech/solo/tb0898.html) this car is NOT in ES.
I talked with Steve Brolliar (on the SCAC) last year at Nats and he
confirmed
this and the '99 rulebook also specifically lists this car in DS
(http://www.scca.org/amateur/solo2/classes/stock.html).

SOHC is nice at North Hills, but not at Peru? :-)
