Default 2005 Solo2 Class reccomendations from SEB....

Spoiler: STI and EVO stay in ESP!!!!


Here are the minutes showing the classing decisions everyone has been
waiting on.


SOLO EVENTS BOARD

The Solo Events Board met by conference call September 29th.
Attending were SEB members Colan Arnold, Marcus Merideth, Ron Bauer,
Chris Dorsey, Mark Sirota, Mari Clements, Mark Sipe, and Andy Hollis;
and Bob Introne of the BOD. The following minutes are presented in
topical rather than chronological order.

SOLO II GENERAL ITEMS
• The Southeast Division and Northeast Division positions on the SEB
will be vacant at the end of 2004. Interested applicants should send
their qualifications in writing to the SEB and BOD via the National
Office.
• Nominations from the membership are requested for the following
awards: Driver of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Solo Cup, and Driver
of Eminence. Descriptions of these awards may be found in Appendix K
of the National Solo rule book.

SOLO II STOCK CATEGORY
• Per the SAC, the following class change proposals (effective
1/1/2005) have been recommended in the form below to the BOD:
ITEM 1: Move from BS to AS: Porsche Boxster non-S, Honda S2000 ('00-
'03), BMW Z4 (all)
ITEM 2: Move from CS to ES: Mazda Miata 1.8 ('94-'97), BMW Z3 4-cyl
• The following previously-published class change proposals have been
withdrawn:
Move from CS to ES: Porsche 914 1.7, 1.8, 2.0
Move from GS to DS: Mini Cooper S (`02+)
• The proposal to remove the Porsche GT3 from the Stock exclusion
list and add it to SS is still under discussion.

SOLO II STRET PREPARED CATEGORY
• The following previously-published class change proposals have been
withdrawn:
Move from ESP to BSP: Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru WRX Sti

ITEMS REFERRED TO THE APPLICABLE COMMITTEES
• SAC: Possible DS to GS moves
• STAC: ST front/rear wings, rule wording

TECH BULLETINS
1) Stock: The following new listings, effective immediately upon
publication, are added in Appendix A:
Mini Cooper S (`05+) GS
2) Stock, Errors and Omissions: the correct form of the new Saab Aero
and Linear listings is as follows:
Saab 9-2X Linear GS (ref. 04-582)
Saab 9-2X Aero DS (ref. 04-582)
3) Street Touring, Errors and Omissions: The previously published
proposal to amend 14.2.F has been corrected to read: Add to 14.2
F. "The total surface area of all spoilers and rear wing may not
exceed 8 square feet as seen from above."

Whoa! Alot of people were waiting for this.
So, both the S2000 AND the Boxter are recommended to move. If approved, that is a huge opening in B-stock.

Seems like the same thing with the Miata's in C-stock.

Yay! on STi's staying in ESP. Although, at Nats, the STi's were not competitive in open class.

Since I'm not planning on going to Nationals it really makes no difference to me other than having to make new magnets.

I can still pound on a certian white Boxster and listen to it's owner complain about "fucking S2000s"

Actually, I think I will continue to run street tire...I love the competition that street tire class promotes...plus, You guys would probably make fun of me for beating on Mustangs every weekend.

I agree, I think street tire is the place to be, since it means all of us wil be able to run against each other from various levels of prep with various cars. I'm about 99% sure I'm running NSM next season... now if I can just afford a block, turbo, fuel, intercooler, and transmission before April.

Maybe you should just look for a totalled STi to part out? Keep the drivetrain, sell the brakes, seats, HIDs, etc. and your WRX engine, put the 5 speed in the SVX, and have AVCS to go with the bigger turbo? Big cash outlay, but you'd get 50-70% of it back parting out the car and your motor. Just a thought.

That's actually a reall good idea, but I need the cash, plus room to put a totaled STi... which bascially means I need my own house 1st. ...Buying a house before those big mods is the smarter idea anyway....

Scott, if you do that, I still need a full chassis harness, and I'd buy your EJ20.....

(hmm, drive-by-wire EJ20.....)
