First and foremost IF we went to a 7/10 year rule in stock, the SCAC/SEB
would have a much easier time of classing cars. Probably 70% of the cars
listed in the rule book would be gone from NATIONAL competition. The last
30% will be broken out into Ultra Competitive classes. Since all newer cars
share similar technologies, the SCAC/SEB can better brake up that remaining
cars into 9 classes, perhaps even drop a few. This is how it might look.
SS - The Ultra Stock that people here seem to want.
(Z06/Viper/Ferrari/Whatever)
AS - Sports Car High Performance (C4 Corvette/RX7TT)
BS - Sports Car Medium Performance (S2000/M3/Boxster/ And ALL F Bodies)
CS - Sports Car Low Performance (Miata/MR2/IS300/3 Series BMW)
DS - Sport Touring (FWD High Perfomance) (TypeR/Subaru's/New Integra Type
S/Mini S)
ES - Sport Touring (FWD Medium Performance) (Celicas/Foci/Civics/Mini (non
S))
It's simple. It's easy to explain to a novice. And pretty balanced. Less
classes.
And I added:
Is this what you explain to the novice: "Sorry pal, your daily driver fits
into WS with the other shit we don't want to see around here"?
Or is this it: "First you gotta buy a newer car, then you gotta get a
sponsor or two, and THEN you can come out on Sunday and play with us."
How many NATIONAL drivers are there versus LOCAL/REGIONAL drivers? Wanna
bet there's less of the former and more of the latter?
And why do the rules have to made for the top couple of percentage of
drivers? Is it because the local guys don't lobby the SCCA for rule changes
on their '88 Civics?
Again, this is a STOOOPID idea.
