I also applaud the SCAC with the job that they do. We will undoubtedly get a
lot of posts about the classing decisions made when many of the new Y2K cars
get classed. Consider the job that they have between now and 2000 Nationals:
Type R/DSM question
New Cars
Audi S4
Audi TT Quattro
BMW Z8
Ford Focus
Honda S2000
Mitsubishi Eclipse
Porsche Boxter S
Porsche 911 Turbo, AWD
Toyota Celica, both Base and GTS models.
Toyota MR-Spyder
