So far the Elise is not classed. We have one running in SFR, and the AP folks invited him to come run with them (us). The Elise owner has been asking for classification since winter-time and has been

Dave is right. It's an A/Mod car. I can also see the club's reticence to class a $60K (before modifications) non-streetable car in a grassroots motorsport. CHD

Non-streetable only in the U.S., Charlie. Puritans that we still are. Omitting the "non-streetable" part of your sentence, the $60K cost certainly isn't a classing factor, nor should it be. Look at t

In my opinion, some cars are not stock. Perhaps the WRX and Elise should be part of that group. Perhaps there could be a listing or wording that would exclude such cars from the Stock, and maybe even

I'd say if someone offers AP, take it. That's where they put the Lotus Elan (FWD) guy here in the Twin Towns, and everybody seems pretty happy with it. Then again, our AP is a little less restricted

Structually, the Elise is closest to a targa in design design. In addition to the standard roll bar, which has only two anchor points, Lotus sells a "cage" of sorts, one bar of which runs from the ce
