"The biggest change will come in the Touring and Showroom Stock categories, with the two being combined in 2013, consolidating from five classes (Touring 1-3, Showroom Stock B-C) down to four (Touring 1-4)."

"The target performance level of the new Touring 1 will be between that of the current T1 and T2 classes. Current cars that are restricted in T2 will move to the new Touring 1 class, removing restrictions with potential additional allowances, while the current T1 cars will receive restrictions to remain, or have the opportunity to move to the more permissive Super Touring® Over (STO) class."

"The new Touring 4 will be based on B-Spec?, with other, current SSC cars not fitting into the new Touring 3, but restricted to the B-Spec performance level."


The local 8 or so corvette T1 guys are not at all happy. Can't say I blame them as some of them just built cars. Our region's T1 field was growing quite steadily the last few years. I'm worried that when they slow the corvettes, the corvettes will turn into a "momentum" car to allow the pony cars to keep up.

As painful as it is for some SCCA needs more class consolodation.

Exactly. Pretty soon we'll all have 10-minute races otherwise.

I'm with you guys on axing Showroom Stock (and it's crap influence on its children classes), but slowing a class seemed like extra collateral damage.

The formula car consolidation has those guys even happier than some of the corvette guys. This has been in the talks since I joined the club. Been on CRB agenda every year since I have been on. We saw an agenda from 1988... It had a very similar class consolidation plan on it, if we changed the date on the proposal, it would still fit perfectly in 2012
