BIG NEWS FROM SCCA....

There is a proposal to create new street prepared class. Basically it creates GSP and drops everyone down a notch from the existing CSP on down. CSP would now comprise of M3's, C4's, Z33's, S2k's, etc. Miatas would drop to DSP along with a few others.

Based on feedback received from the membership the SPAC feels that it is time for an additional Street Prepared class to
be added to the category. This class will fit “between” the current CSP and BSP classes by creating a new class designated
G Street Prepared and re-lettering other classes. Cars currently classed in FSP will be moved to GSP, cars classed in DSP
moved to FSP, and most cars classed in CSP moved to DSP. This will leave a “new” CSP to be filled with popular 2 and 4
seat sports cars and sports sedans such as the BMW E36 M3, Nissan 350Z, Honda S2000, Chevy Corvette (C4), Audi TT
and other cars of similar drive train configurations and/or performance potential. The proposed changes are as follows:
April Fastrack

I think this could be VERY appealing to some STR guys wanting to go back to R-comps.....s2k (particularly AP2's) should be right up there IMO.

Interesting...but I like how STR prohibits R Comps. This way cheap bastards like myself who don't like lugging them around can still be somewhat competitive.

I like the new CSP since I can't go back to be STR and I already have cheap R comps. I have to double check if the softop delete is still ok.

I'm considering putting my all-seasons on for this if it's gonna be cold and wet. And I'll definitely be wearing gloves, coat, and a hat for the cone duty.

60% chance of rain/snow with temps in the mid 30's Sunday................... At least I run in the afternoon. Hopefully it will clear up.
