What is a "touring car?"

[Andy Bettencourt]

I am refuting the idea that 'if STL keeps trending the way it is then it's going to be all Miata's'.

Ya, I wasn't there but I can read. 2 qualifiers and 2 races worth of Major shows me that a Civic can run WITH the fastest STL Miata in the country.

The only thing trending is that SM guys use STL as a place to tune for their SM race...and if they are faster than any STL car, there is work to do there. The best STL cars are a mega-ton faster than the best SM cars...or at least they were on a decent track with decent drivers.

Kirk, if you want STL to 'look' like something, I am all for it. But like I said, what you will have left over is the second weakest subscribed class in the SCCA. And those who 'will build it' when the Miata's are gone, simply aren't looking hard enough at what a non-Miata has already done and are using that as an excuse IMHO.

I think the STAC is close to balance right now. Maybe another tweak if more info comes to light but I see parity.

YMMV.
