    STREET TOURING
    • The following rule change proposal has been recommended by the STAC and is being published for member comment:
    o In 14.13, change the maximum tire size for 2WD vehicles (FWD and RWD) to 285 (ref. 07-43
    I have already sent my letter supporting this addition (allowing 285mm tires to STU 2WD cars)... with the condition that they ALSO ALLOW FENDER MODIFUCATIONS NECESSARY TO FIT THESE TO AN E36 BMW! This is THE last 2WD car left in STU with even a remote shot at keeping up with the AWD turbo cars at HPT... so adding 285s doesn't help any other STU classed 2WD car that matters...

    (sorry RX8 drivers, your numbers are too few!)

    Tips for your letters to the Solo Events Board (SEB) on this issue:
    • Put in the title "Member comment for April FasTrack / Street Touring 14.13 change to 285mm max tires"
    • E-Mail it to "seb@scca.com"
    • Add your SCCA Member Number and year you joined at the bottom, along with your name and region
    • Please state what type of car and class you currently race, and if this rule would make you consider returning to STU (it should!)
    • Please also note that the 285mm tire allowance is useless without a fender allowance!


    BMW racers: rally the troops and send those letters.

    GoGoGo!

      Done as well, though it's been a while since.

        • Change 14.2.F. ST wording to: “Surface area of all splitters, spoilers, and rear wing (see section 12.9) shall not exceed 5 square feet in sum total.”
        • The SEB has recommended the approval of John Scheier as RM Division Solo Safety Steward. (go pimp daddy go!)

      • The SPAC and SEB are seeking member input on each of the following class listing change proposals:
      • Move from ASP to BSP: BMW M3 (E46) Send those letters!

      • The SPAC is not at this time recommending any changes with regard to the SP classification of the Mitsubishi Evolution and Subaru WRX STI. It is the committee’s position that other recommended changes will help competitiveness for some of the other existing cars in BSP.

        Love the possible move of the RX-8 to STX. The car just doesn't have the guts to compete against the M3 or the boost-buggies. I haven't paid a lot of attention to ASP and BSP, but given extra money, creating an E46 M3 BSP car could be quite a bit of fun.

          Something along the lines of 'Short Straw'.

            So is there any talk about the E46 M3 going to STU? I guess there's never been a proposal to reduce the width of AWD cars' tires in STU? That'd be easier than putting bigger tires on an E36.

              Are you thinking you know someone with a good STU car if that happens?
