    fixed EP civic and ITA civic EX VTEC. good.

    ST remains a cluster. "fixed" nothing in STL but the weight of the 12A and that was a joke. ST rules remain far from watertight and still have a fair amount of open ended questions (plus new ones for STU, keep reading)

    STU got some strange line items - like V6 mustangs (cool) and supercharged, stock-cam 2AZ-FE Tc at 2300# (NA it would be 2640# base with STU cam) which seems - odd. Now we need to know if those motors at the listed altenrate weight can be used in a different car. because adding 100# for 0.4L and an SC to my planned 2.0L MR2 is an interesting concept. especially when I want the JDM 3rd gen version of the motor to be allowed to make it worthwhile (waited for the new rules before I started that work).

    SM5 seems cool - good to have a unified ruleset.

    good call on not over-reacting to radial slicks in slower GT and prod classes yet.

    12A permitted at 2600 lbs,no porting permitted. how is that fixed?

    Just asking.

    12A in STU ported with auto type 2 barrell carb. What size choke is a Holly 2300 500cfm 2bbl carb? Lots cheaper than a Weber type,and parts are everywhere,including Walmart

    woohoo

    In 9.1.3.D.1.m, add at the end: “Cars originally equipped with hydraulically-actuated clutches may replace the clutch
    hydraulic lines with steel lines or Teflon-lined metal braided hose.”

    Yes, SM5 is Spec MX-5 (Cup cars). You didn't "miss it". Due to an editing error (mine), the rule set was omitted. As soon as the updated Recommended Rule Changes are posted (here: http://www.scca.com/contentpage.aspx?content=44), you will be able to read them.

    Thanks, Dave. I assume open tires (same rules as in STU)? Or are we gonna try to stuff them into Toyos?

    Regardless, I'm glad the Club is not going to try to put the new chassis in Spec Miata; that would be a mess.

    Default Modifying B-pillar for door bars is verboten!

    Page 52 - No Action required GCR

    #2911 (Chris Howard) Door Bar clarification for IT, SS and Touring
    The existing rule is adequate as written. Cutting into the B-pillar for door bar installation is not permitted. There is no evidence that a change is necessary.

    Default classes

    So help me out here, were there only 2 more classes added for 2011? Why not more, when you water down the competition, may as well throw the whole ocean at it.....

    STL is apparently Regional only---is SM5 also Regional only?

    Yes, SM5 (if approved by the BoD the first weekend of December) will be regional only. This is in line with the recent BoD policy that any new National classes will only get that status by satisfying the 2.5 rule in regional racing.

    That is going to be very interesting given there are so many more Regional events than Nationals...

    Dave, can you post the Regional participation numbers from 2009 and/or 2010 here? Thanks!

    Yahoo the northeast is still the biggest well until you divided it by % to population... just poking some fun against the southeast

    I did notice that SM is the largest followed by SRF followed by ITA (SM crossover?) Then it drops significantly down to ITS.

    Thanks for the link... let the new drama begin!

    Dang, down 22 entries to NEDiv here in the SEDiv.

    Those numbers are always interesting. Makes SCCA look like a 4-5 class club: SM (leader by far), with SRF, ITA, ITS and ITB a ways back but grouped together for second.

    Fail Report - the NE and SE are over half of the racing entries for 2010. Yet the SCCA headquarters is located in Topeka, a region with one of the lowest car counts of all.

    Damn. I can't believe there weren't ANY entries in ITM this year, nationwide. It should be such an attractive option!
