Hey, I assumed this would sift over to the BA list during the day but I'll
do the duties since I haven't seen it show yet. This is from the Evo list
this morning.

> SOLO 2 PROGRAM RESTRUCTURES CLASSES
> Topeka, Kansas (April 1, 2003) - In an effort to attract more participants
to SCCA's entry level program, Solo 2, there will be a redesign of the
current classing systems. Speaking through Howard Duncan, SCCA's New Program
Development Manager, Steve Johnson has fully endorsed this dynamic new
change.
> "We have seen the need to attract a wider range of participants and to
achieve this goal SCCA will be providing an expanded class distribution for
all vehicles." Starting January 1, 2004. Each model of each manufacturer
will now have its own separate class. "Our member have spoken on numerous
occasions about the ability to finish in first place and this is the perfect
answer to those requests." In small focus groups and surveys of the over
65,000 members of SCCA, the response has been very positive. Said one
member, "I always felt I could win, I just need a class where I could come
in first."
> An additional benefit will be the reduced work by the various
classification committees and reduced phone call charges. Committee members
are already looking forward to a quiet and winning season for their own
racing programs.
> Should this program garner the new members as anticipated, it will be
spread to the Road Racing division of SCCA.
