A few observations & thoughts:

1. The 4-cyl Porsche 914 is not listed.  Would it be class 4 or class 6?

2. It's great to see the MR2SC in Class 4.  I still think the Miatas will
dominate that class, but the MR2SC is a much better fit there than with the
AS cars. (The new Miata will have more power than the MR2SC, but the MR2SC
might still have more torque; however, the MR2SC is at least 300 lbs.
heavier than a Miata and doesn't handle quite as well.)

3.  It's too bad that there still isn't a class where the 12A-powered RX7s
can be competitive, since the cars are still fairly plentiful and cheap.
Perhaps the 12A cars could go into class 9 and keep the 13B GSL-SE in class
6?  Or maybe allow cars prepped to Spec RX7 road race rules to compete in
class 6?

4.  Class 8 lists the CRX Si ('88-92) and Civic Si (99+).  Isn't the '89-92
Civic Si essentially a CRX Si with a longer wheelbase?  Will it be a class 8
or class 9 car?
