Sounds good, glad you guys are working on getting the horse back in front of the cart.

Hopefully having Greg on the STAC will help get the big picture aspect in the discussion. often our ACs have a "finishing line" mentality, to the detriment of a good foundation.

I suspect that, based on comments from Chris that there will be 'allowances' made to cars via line item exceptions. This has been termed 'comp adjustments' in the past. Based on the formulaic method of classing that ignores stock restrictions, yet requires stock components, ( a bit of a conflict there) this will be a needed step. And that's fine, IF the STAC can create a POLICY and PROCEDURE of when and how such allowances are made. Otherwise, it's going to be a category with many of the same drawbacks as some others.

And that would be a shame, because the ruleset has it's appeal.

G. Engine
1. Alternate engines may be used, given that if the manufacturer of the vehicle and engine are the same (e.g., an Acura
engine installed into a Honda car) and was available in a car delivered in North America. The chosen engine must
retain its original cylinder head and intake manifold. If an engine from a front wheel drive vehicle is installed in a rear
wheel drive vehicle, alternate OEM intake manifolds may be considered

Just an FYI, we plan on using SCCA owned Data Boxes installed in competitors cars to quantify vehicle performance and make weight and/or restrictor plate adjustments from there. We are starting with STO at Sebring next week.
