Regarding your request for input about moving the FF2000 to CM at a 
weight of 1310 lbs. and without wings.

What's the problem, does the SEB have too much spare time on its hands?  
Looking around for a project?  Why the desire to tinker with such a 
successful class.  The SEB has no idea regarding the times capable of 
such a bastardization.  C Mod is a strong class.  There is no need to 
move any cars into it.  If someone owns a FF2000 and wishes to autocross 
it, there is a place for them to do so and that is in B Mod.  It will 
not be competitive but neither will the Mazda RX-7 be competitive in E 
Stock.   There are thousands of those cars available and very cheaply.   
Why doesn't the SEB consider moving the RX-7 to a lower class?   Compare 
this to the idea to move the FF2000 to CM.

How many SCCA members will be helped by moving a bastardized FF2000 into 
CM?  One?  Two?  How many will be hurt?  50?   70? 


The SEB probably gets one request a year to move the FF2000 to CM.   I 
strongly urge you to dump this idea.  I repeat:   the SEB has NO IDEA of 
how fast or slow this car would be.   Don't destroy a good class.   Why 
are you messing with a successful class?   Why would the SEB even 
consider such a wild and extreme proposal?    Who and how many have 
requested such a move?


Let the FF2000 continue to reside in B Mod where it belongs (and where 
the S2000 likely belongs also).

Please respond to my questions above as soon as possible.
