Chris Obert in his D Mod Dallara (It looks remarkably like
a Fiat X1/9).
Tidewater Sports Car Club's results problems.
Tidewater SCC's Wintercross 3
Features include the latest proposal on A Prepared including vehicle
weights which SCCA left out of its proposal in Sports Car magazine.
Aparently somebody in charge has once again left out an important part.
That happened with the previously published D Prepared listing in the Solo
II rule book. And previously with some basic information on D Modified. We
think its in the "Somebody's" job description.
Time to write a letter, which won't be acknowledged but you gotta do it
anyway and send a copy to Pylon. We'll print it. See the letter in this
issue from a guy building a D Prepared Miata.
We supply the COMPLETE rules for the upcoming Car and Driver
magazine Tour, including calendar of events, promoted by Steve Volpp.
At its National convention in February, SCCA inducted the late Vern
Jaques (and nine others) into its inaugural Hall of Fame class. Back in
March 1998 Mr. Jaques outlined his contribution, in Pylon, toward
developing Solo II in SCCA and how a number of officials just plain didn't
care about getting involved in the parking lot game. We reprint his
article.
Columns:
Pat Kelly compares getting to a destination via train and compares
it to recent foggy rule writing.
