RX-8 to DSP???
It doesn't even make any sense. Is the DSP proposal dead? None of those cars have any chance against a CSP Miata, so they may as well leave them in BSP or put them in ASP because they're no better fit there, performance capability or chassis type. The whole thing appears to be disorganized chaos without any true objective other than change for the sake of change.

Well to update this thread...
Per the November Fastrack: http://www.scca.org/documents/Fastra...strack-nov.pdf
The proposal to move the RX-8 to CSP was nixed.
While a lot of time has passed (I wanted to see how the conversation developed on the SCCAForums thread), I finally decided to sit down and knock out a 5 page letter this evening outlining why the RX-8 fits the DSP class in terms of its dimensions, weight and power/thrust along with supporting dyno graphs, wheel torque curves, etc.
Hopefully, this proposal will be published for member comment in the Spring.

Comment from the ****: moving these cars would not make them any more competitive in CSP than in BSP. At Lincoln the playing field appears to have been leveled between the Evos and the other cars in the class. In addition, cars such as the M3 and RX8 are dissimilar to the rest of CSP.

I definitely support this move. I just bought some A6's just to have some fun locally and see how much work I would need to do to make the car competitive when/if we get moved to DSP.

From e-mails exchanged with my local **** representative, my letter has not been posted to their forum yet. I made sure to send him a copy of the letter and he will keep an eye out for it on their forum. He mentioned that he liked the justification/comparison of my letter but will see what the group as a whole decides.
As I learn more, I'll update this thread...

They posted in Fastrack the prior month or two that the idea was not going to be considered. The same thing happened with the 200 TWR proposal. They can't seem to make up their mind on anything these days.
glad I found this thread, I am going to be moving out from novice and into an sp class since I will be running a bhr mp. I was under the impression we were csp, looks like I was way off.
And in this same Fastrack there is one notice that the Fiat 500 isn't going to be classed due to rollover safety concerns and another notice classing it in G Stock.
Apparently the process now has two left feet, lol
