I don't know if you noticed or not, but this years BS is pretty much the same
class as last years AS with a couple of additions (SS Camaro, WS6 Firebird, ..).
So are you then saying that last years AS was also a spec S2000 Class? I
believe a Boxster won at Nationals. A lot of thought went into where the
S2000 and Boxster S cars would be classed for this year. I have heard the
SEB is considering moving the S2000 to AS in 2003 but haven't seen any
concrete proof of this. I personally would prefer this didn't happen but before
we get all up in arms here, why don't we give it a chance and see how it
works out this year.
By the way James, what car and class do you participate in?
