There is strong support for allowing the 944 series
into SM. It won't happen this year but it is actively
being discussed on the SM list. I personally would
love to have them included and locally we have a 944
turbo running in SM. It takes time to build a class
and no one, especially Howard, is interested in
excluding cars that fit the performance parameters of
SM.
I would also like to point out that SM ran first heat
Thurs/Fri at Nationals and conditions should be
factored in when comparing times between classes.
