It was no secret among most HS competitors that have attended Nationals the
last few years that the Toyota Celica ST and Mazda MX-6 four cylinder were
moving up to ES.

see where this might have caught someone off guard. If you on the other hand
have been a member of SCCA for several years you should have seen the
notices in FastTrack that were asking for member input on the reclassing of
the aforementioned cars. Nothing happens overnight as far as moving
previously classed cars to other classes. The proposed changes are always
published in FastTrack and the membership is always encouraged to comment.
I wonder how much grousing is going to go on when the proposed SP changes
are enacted? Those have been published since this past spring.
