D Stock When will class decision be made?
#3
Class-change decisions are usually made on the Solo Events Board's first conference call following Nationals, but since Nats are the last week in Sept that call won't happen until mid-October (the various Advisory committees will have conference calls first in early Oct, make their recommendations to the SEB, then the SEB makes the final decisions).
Everything will be published online in FasTrack on the SCCA website, possibly before the end of October but more likely the first week or so of November.

Be careful what you wish for....
It's the only really good data point (IMO) we have this year so far, but defending DS champ Bartek Barowski (Integra Type R) whacked Craig, Greg, and me pretty good at the Milwaukee Tour back in July. Go back and look at the times...Bart's 3rd run Sunday was done on corded front tires. Good car, good driver.
You might want to temper that enthusiasm until we see what happens in Topeka.

Actually, the response I got from Doug Gill was that there was not likley to be any chnages in the classign for the MCS for 2008.
I was impressed with the speed of Doug's response, as he got back to me within 3 days of me asking the question.

Actually, the response I got from Doug Gill on the SEB was as follows:
"It was pulled from the Action Items presented to the Board of Directors. There will be no changes in classing of the MINI Cooper S for 2008."
I thought that this was common knowledge and I had simply missed it, so I did not post this up. I would have to say that this is some pretty good news, that they have decided for the moment that there is a distinct speed difference between the current DS and GS cars.

That said, Doug is SCCA Competition Manager and not an SEB member (although he has input into the SEB's decision-making process) so I think he may have slipped in letting that info out. No one with knowledge of SEB decisions such as this is supposed to reveal or discuss them until they're officially published in FasTrack, although it's not a hanging offense.
I would expect the Dec issue of FasTrack to be up on the SCCA website by the end of next week at the latest.

Does this make ANY sense?

I'm sure that someone makes rules for your region (we had our rules meeting last night) Pax/RTP is adopted by the region as an index but if it is clearly wrong, it should be able to be adjusted by the region.
there were similar concerns during the 2005 season when the GS index was too low based on the improved performance of the lsd equiped MCS.

Glad to hear... but with the indexes being similar it seems like no big deal when looking at overall results. I plan to take some appropriate steps to gain any advantage possible with car set up in the off season!
