2006 Solo 2 Changes in December FasTrack
 
STi and Evo move to BSP and boost is unregulated (if you don't change anything else, just boost the ... er.. boost).

Now it has been recommended to the board of directors, which means its not yet final, but very likely to get passed, right? Still kinda new to this SCCA Solo thing, but that seems to be the consensus on other forums.

STREET PREPARED CATEGORY
- The proposal to move the Fiat and Bertone X-1/9 from DSP to FSP has been
withdrawn.
- The following rule change proposal, previously published in the August Fastracks and effective 1/1/2006, has been recommended to the BOD: Replace the contents of 15.10.C with the following:

"C. Induction allowances are as follows:
1. Carburetors, fuel injection, and intake manifolds are unrestricted. Alternate throttle linkage and connections to facilitate installation of allowed induction
systems are permitted, but may serve no other purpose. If an induction system item is allowed to be removed and its original mounting bracket can be removed by simply unbolting it, the bracket may be removed as well.

2. Except for standard parts as defined in these rules, the external use while on course of liquids, ice, dry ice, refrigeration systems, vaporized compressed gases, etc. to reduce the temperature of the intake air charge is prohibited.

3. As utilized only on engines originally equipped with forced induction, induction charge heat exchangers (known as "intercoolers" or "charge air coolers (CACs)") are unrestricted in size and configuration. Air-to-air CACs and radiators for air-to-liquid CACs must be cooled only by the atmosphere, except for standard parts. Body panels, fascias, or structural members may not be cut or altered to facilitate CAC installation.

4. Turbochargers and/or superchargers ("forced induction") may not be added, changed, or modified. On vehicles originally equipped with forced induction:
a) No hardware changes or alterations to turbocharger(s) or supercharger(s), in size or number, are permitted. Turbochargers or superchargers may be updated/backdated only in conjunction with the accompanying complete engine unit.
b) No changes are allowed to waste gate(s) size, number, or location. No
changes are allowed to variable-geometryturbine (VGT) hardware.
c) No changes are allowed to supercharger drive system pulleys. Belt tensioners may be added/changed to reduce belt slip.
d) No changes are permitted to blow-off/pop-offvalves.
e) Compressor bypass valves (CBVs) may be updated/backdated independently of the other components of a forced induction system.
f) Boost regulation systems, either electronic or mechanical, and electronic fuel cuts referencing boost pressure may be altered or modified except as prohibited herein. Boost pressure changes resulting from authorized changes are permitted."

- The following class change proposal, previously published in the July Fastracks, has been recommended to the BOD: Move the following cars from ESP to BSP: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8, Subaru WRX Sti.

Oh, and in Prepared category news, AP cars are now XP.

-The class name for the restructured AP class has been
changed to XP for 2006.

Given the "BSP" pax factor for years prior, it should fall somewhere between esp and SM when the actual factors come out, that should be right on.

Now, as far as my (currently) SM prepared car goes...What do I have to change to get back to BSP? If steering rack bushings are legal now, I'm good to go. However, I rally want to do the Cusco Master Cylinder brace, that would likely be illegal in BSP.

Oops...BSP will be a rice-free class

"d) No changes are permitted to blow-off/pop-offvalves"

Steering rack bushings, and transmission mounts, were approved for this year several months ago in both ST and SP classes. Unfortunately there is still no mention of MC braces or brackets in SP rules Matt. :( You could change anything about the master cylinder or booster if you wanted, but can't add the bracket. :rolleyes: And I guess you'll have to cancel that TXS BOV you ordered too huh? :p

ESP WRX could now be very interesting... 06 could be a requirement though, or a update engine swap..

The mostly stock brake issue is still a pain though.
