No changes in ST classes pretty much. The 2015 FRS RS 1.0 was moved to B-Street.

Have a good off season, see everybody next year in BS!

That sounds, good, but I need to look at the rules a bit better.....

370Z to BS, Nismo to AS
Oh well...
Even worse for the Laguna Seca Boss 302 being in a different class. SCCA really has a stick up its butt on special models.

GT3 headed for the exclusion list. Sucks for those guys gals. While letting GT-Rs in.

SCCA makes no sense.

At least H-stock Nissans look fun.

Sometimes I liken the SEB to the "popular" kids on the high school student body. In that they seemingly make decisions that are "popular" and rarely are founded on facts and data like you might expect.

Regarding the 370z move to BS. Looking at national level results between BS and CS the 370z looks like it will be able to hold its own in that class. Time will tell. Unfortunately there are far more S2000 drivers than 370z drivers and it wouldn't shock me to see the 370z moved into AS in 2016.

While I personally think it belongs in C, I think the 370z will be able to hold hit's own in BS on the national level where the courses are big and fast, and often held at good concrete sites.

However, it's going to be screwed over on tighter lots and on crappy asphalt, which unfortunately are very common at the regional level.

I understand them wanting to keep special models separate from the base models, even if it puts the special model in a class where it can't compete. You shouldn't have to buy hard to find/expensive models just to have a place to play.

Anybody coming to STR with me? :)

Just come play in ASP. The purple crack is so much more fun than street tires. Of course considering it looks like you're from San Diego that means you'll probably end up dealing with McCance with the classing changes for the subarus.

Since this was my first year and I'm still a beginner, the class change doesn't really bother me that much. There are a couple of local drivers in CS that compete at the national events and I'm about a second slower than they are and the same is true with the local BS drivers. The top 3 BS guys are from .5 - 1.5 seconds faster. So, the way I see it, either class I'm starting out a second behind so it really doesn't matter, I just need to get a litter faster.

I do plan to install a set of Koni yellows before the start of next season. I've still got 6-7 event left to do this year, so I'm working on closing the gap. :driving:

Jealous of you warm climate guys and your long autox seasons. I'm stuck waiting till April. :shakes head:

Yha but even april still suck because the pavment isnt warm untill 1:00 or later. Also in CT it was still snowing till mid april this year. :shakes head:

We were still dealing with the same things here in Ohio. The first local event we had this year it was just barely above freezing.

There's an RX8 (CS) guy on the SEB....:nutswinger:

As quick on the trigger as I am to flame club leaders when I think they've acted for personal benefit over that of the club - I don't think that's what happened here. The 370z isn't a small light car with 4cylinder power that gets by on its handling. It's bigger and heavier, but makes up for it with more wheel and extra acceleration. When viewed this way it doesn't "look like" the other CS cars, and the move makes sense.

No, I don't think any one individual has that much pull. At any rate, don't forgot we were the staple of this class for a few years, until the little pissers showed up. The SCCA likes to keep one dominate make per class, Vettes in A, S2000s in B, us in C, etc. Now as the S2000s age on the competitive curve, we can go up there and have some fun, and leave C for the little hipster d-bag mobiles. I do wish however we could find a better home in ST.

Peters won STR in a 350, and most would agree the 370 is even better so really, STR is not a bad place. Sure, we might like more wheel/tire, but every car there has shortcomings - the others would love to have our torque.
