Hello,
I was saving my opinion for my letter(s) to the SCCA,
then I saw this post and had to contribute my 2 cents.
As a G Stock runner I have to contradict the
statement below. My preference is actually ONLY "A".
Not only because I have the Pro Parts double
adjustable Koni's, but also for a much less self
serving reason.
In 1999 I saw a Vw, which was believed to be on stock
shocks (struts), roll over while I was working course.
If no one has brought it up yet, aftermarket
"dampeners" are, Im my opinion, a SAFETY item. As tire
manufacturers keep comming out with R compound tires
that have more grip, I think we will see more and more
cars roll over if we do not allow aftermarket
dampeners.
I also believe that,in trying to save members money,
the SCCA would have a higher "financial risk factor"
due to my percieved increased frequency of roll overs.
As competitors,sometimes we just have to anty up!

I run prepared so have no stake in this, but will add that
the above is true. Before the San Diego area went with
SCCA rules some years ago, we had a number of cars (Subaru
360 and Renault LeCar as 2 examples) listed in an addendum
to the stock section rules, that were FORBIDDEN to
compete unless they had aftermarket shocks. And, yes, we
had a LeCar roll over a full 360...
