Ever since the current president took over SCCA has ceased to be a club and
has become a business. Like all businesses, it is all about the bottom
line. Eliminating classes is one way to minimize expenses.
For what it's worth, I dropped my SCCA membership about 3 years ago for the
same reason. The Solo classes were also being compressed, making it
impossible for certain cars (including mine) to be anywhere near
competitive.
Cheers,
Joe C.

Subject: [Fot] alternatives to the SCCA?
Amici,
In the past few weeks the SCCA has put out a plan that basically
disenfranchises many members by the elmination of all but 2 production car
classes. This is coming at the expense of G and H production which will be
merged with F production. There is no current plan from the board of
directors as to how this is going to be accomplished.
What we do know, is there is no way for many of the H-Prod cars to be
competetive with the F-Prod cars. Some of us could be, but it is going to
take either the complete overhaul of the car or start over with a new car.
What alternatives are out there for a current SCCA to run with? ie: a '72
car running the 1500, flared fenders, slicks, dog ring gearbox, etc...etc...
I'm losing faith that I'll be able to run this car anywhere in the next 3
years.
