Some big changes are in store for the Street Touring category of classes within SCCA Solo racing, so if you are a competitor there it would be a good idea to read this and respond with your member comment to: www.sebscca.com
And if you're not an ST competitor but might someday get tired of burning $1200+ a set on Hoosier A6 race tires that last maybe 40 runs... it might still be worth your time to respond. Having been in the SCCA for 24 years I have only seen 2 new categories of classes be created, and never expected Street Touring would be this popular this quickly (SMod, which was started around the same time, is essentially floundering by comparison). Stock, SP, and SM can have their gumball, crutch, cover-up-bad-driving, super sticky R comp tires... The astoundingly good idea of a series of classes that are restricted to real street tires that don't cost $100 per 60 second run was a large part of the continued success.
Seriously, a lot of times there are only 1-2 letters in response to FasTrack notifications and requests for comment. Your single letter can literally make or break a rule. Please... this system works better when we respond with clear, concise, and well thought out letters. And it takes 60 seconds to do - you don't even have to burn a stamp anymore. Go to the link above, have your SCCA member number handy, and type. Easy.
I'm writing several letters now and will post up the various sections to discuss here, along with my letters, as I get to the subjects within the FasTrack. I'm sure some of you here have already started talking about this FasTrack already, but its probably buried within somebody's random thread. This set of changes is part of a major overhaul they have planned for ST category for 1/1/2012, and by and large I see it as a good thing... but there are several options laid out for us and we the members can help guide the SEB (and STAC) to our will.
ST racers.... Unite!
