SCCA Clarifies STL Participation at 2012 Runoffs
TOPEKA, Kan (Aug. 8, 2012) – Sports Car Club of America released the following information about the Super Touring® Lite (STL) class and its participation in the 2012 SCCA National Championship Runoffs®.

This should prove to be an interesting start -- I don't think a 3 field split start is very common, especially at the Runoffs.
"3 field"? There's only two classes in that group, STU and STL.Quote:

Oops, yes, it's only qualifying that's GT3, STU, and STL. So right now that's 42 cars on track for qualifying, which seems just slightly higher than average, but totally doable.
During the race, try not to pass me.:lol:
;)
It's very do-able. Very big track, I think SCCA is allowed to start something like 105 cars? Plenty of space.
Eek, didn't notice we were qualifying with GT3. That's gonna kinda really suck in a 2L FWD car...damn, and not even on the track first time until Friday afternoon...ugh.
Come find me, I'll probably be hanging out with Chris Childs and company.
25 cars/mile * 4 miles = 100 cars.

That wing's not as light as mine -- which is invisible! Why would I need a wing when I've got all that rotary-powered torque to get me through the turns?Quote:
