IT should really think about welcoming Older SM's....... Without a new class..

I vote we just change the rule and let people loop the damn PS if they want

Again, what's wrong with running them in SM2? Nothing on the cars needs to be changed, IT doesn't need to modify it's ruleset. Everything is already in place and done. Seems simple to me.

Since when is more classes the answer to a problem? Doh, SCCA. Carry on. Off to find out what SM2 is.....

Ask for member input regarding PS depower.
Please ask the people that pay the bills.

Yes, more of this please.

Probably the best course of action is to create an initiative proposed by drivers that everyone in the region agrees to. I haven't spoken to a driver who doesn't want to see this change, but Chip indicates the ITAC and CRB won't be on board with it. For such a proposal the simplest form would be requiring that the PS pump remain and not be removed.

Normally I'd totally agree and thought the idea was silly. Then I saw more of it and thus far like it. Thought it was more used in other areas too; guess not.

These are NA Miatas (1990-1997) prepared to the current SM specifications. SM2 is a Northeast Division class and part of the NEDiv Road Racing Championship (division series).

Realistically, at our level, the gains from power to non power steering isnt going to make a shit bit of difference........

[Andy Bettencourt]

But that is not really the point. 3 whp is a 50lb addition to an ITA front driver. And add into it the now-available 'better' ratio steering boxes. Winning is about adding up the little things.

Not sure anything is broken right now.

25 cars registered in SM2 for Lime Rock. Just sayin'.
