Subject: SCCA Announces new ST Classes for 2005
> Due to negative reaction to the way in which the new STS2 and STU classes
> came about, SCCA would like to advise the membership of our vision of the
future
> with respect to classes in various categories. It is hoped that in so
doing,
> we will help competitors to plan their future competitive efforts.
>
> The Solo Events Board realizes that there is increased popularity in the
> Street Touring and Street Modified categories and waning attendance in
some
> Prepared and Modified classes, therefore the room for these classes will
come from
> recuction in the number of Prepared and Modified classes.
>
> Due to the volume of mail expressing interest in these classes, SCCA would
> like to reverse a previous statement that "no new classes would be added
until
> 2007." It is anticipated that the following classes will be added as
> "Provisional" in 2005. The Street Touring Advisory Committee will develop
Appendix A
> lists for the additional classes, to be added to the Appendix A class
listings
> for STS, STS2, STU, STX, which are under development.
>
> STX2: 2 seat cars prepared to STX rules, but with 2 seats. Miata, MR-2
and
> MR-Spyder, Honda S2000, BMW Z3, Z4 will be included.
>
> STU2: Follows the STU concept, but for high performance 2 seat sports
cars
> and currently excluded 4 seat cars such as Corvette, Porsche 911, BMW M-3
E46.
>
> Room for these classes will come from the deletion of A/Prepared and the
> combination of D and E/Modified. Further examination continues as to the
> viability of several other Prepared classes. Further reductions in the
number of
> Prepared classes could also make way for STT - Street Touring Turbo, and
STT2,
> Street Touring Turbo for 2 seaters if the proposed re-alignment of the
Prepared
> Category doesn't increase entries in B, D, and E/Prepared. The inclusion
of
> STT and STT2 would solve one of the problems with enforcement of Turbo
boost
> levels in classes where normally aspirated and forced induction cars both
compete.
>
> Due to continued problems with SCCA's website and mail server, SCCA will
use
> AOL as its mail server for the near future. If you normally communicate
with
> SCCA staff members, please use their address with "@aol.com" instead of
> "@scca.com" This situation should be resolved in the next month.
>
> Thank you for your continued input into the process.
