ST was not offered at Nationals last year. Matt Grainger had to run in
ESP.

There are several people in San Francisco Region who would go to
Nationals this year if ST was offered. I don't understand the reasoning
behind not offering it at Nationals while offering it at Tours and
Pros, but I'll bet there's some kind of logic driving the decision. Or
maybe it's some kind of Neon conspiracy...
It's exciting to watch the class grow and gain legitimacy. I would
guess/hope that there will be an ST at Nationals in '00.

The Neon seems to have good ST potential. Steve Wynne (OR) is getting
faster and faster in his, finishing 3rd at the Atwater Pro and 2nd at
the Atwater Norpac Divisional. I'd put my money on a fully
updated/backdated '84-87 Civic, but I definitely wouldn't turn my back
on the Neons for a second.
