So, I am not shocked they moved the 370 to B Street. I feel worse for the Nismo, it is officially buried now that it's in A Street. But, a Base 370z with sport would not be competitive vs. a Nismo, so if I must drive in BS I'm at least glad it wont be against a Nismo. Having written multiple letters to the SEB on this classing issue and others I am convinced they don't listen to anyone but those who have enough clout as a national winning driver and/or have been active at national level for so many years so as to be known by name. It appears that at the national level Auto-X is being ruined by politics and popularity contests...very sad.
Over the past 6yrs of reading fast track and rules updates, etc. only about 33% of the time does the SCCA SEB seem to make a any rules decision that makes sense. Most the time only if the supporting data is so overwhelming that a raving internet fan boy can't refute it. Makes me think that we have boating enthusiasts making our car classing decisions. /end rant
All that said, I don't think the 370z is overwhelmingly outmatched in BS...unless it's a Pro-solo now that the Audi TT is a BS<sigh>. I just hope that the B Street PAX gets a little softer so I at least have a ice cubes chance in hell at regional events next season.
