As expected, BS will run Thur/Fri in 2009: http://scca.com/eventitems.aspx?item...nt=13555&hub=3

 

I did not expect that at all.... With a potential BS-CS merger on the table I expected BS-CS to run the same days in 2009 - meaning one of us would have done a repeat of last year.

Wonder if the SEB forgot about that, or has already decided not to put the classes together.

 

...the plot thickens...ULLLLLLLLLLOSE, in to the conspiracy theory...

Hey, when's the new SportsCar being mailed? You guys better have been kind...

 

With the CS/BS merge on the table, it would have been nice if CS and BS ran on the same days and at comparable times. This would at least given a large data sets for the comparison of the classes. Looking at entries for National events it seems that CS will be under-represented is many events thus providing less useful data. The Solstice on concrete has in the past beat the RX8 big time. This is based mostly on some fast drivers at Peru events.

 

I know how those black helicopters work. I would guess it just did not work out for balancing run groups.

I have had my copy for weeks. The art director did a great job on your mullet.

 

Very true. After checking the BS run days, I immediately looked for when CS would run b/c of the proposal. Who knows...
Ooooh, I can't wait to get my SportsCar now!!!

 

Sad thing is, back in my college days when I was a surf bum at UC Santa Barbara, I did sport something close to a mullet...hey, it was the late '80s, I was stylin'

I do agree that, if this BS/CS idea is going to continue to be considered, that getting more meaningful data would have been a good idea. I also am seeing much less interest in CS locally and in the Tour/Pro entries out here...and the West Coast has historically seen big CS participation.

 

Business in the front, party in the back... I hear you still live that way.

 

You know, that could be taken a few different ways...

 

I'm also seeing low interest in CS on the East Coast - DC and Toledo haven't made a class, and while Dixie has 7 in CS, the numbers in BS are much stronger 11 + 1 (in BSL).

Even though I'm in support of the merger, if it doesn't happen, I *might* just stay in BS for another season.

 

The thing I don't understand, regarding CS, is why there aren't more Solsti out there running...the cars can be bought dirt cheap in the used market, doing the Z0K conversion isn't too costly, they are definitely a top contender in class, they are easy on tires, fun to drive, get good gas mileage/good daily driver and are cheap to run. Yes, build quality isn't Miata like, but it isn't horrible, either. I just don't get it.

 

There is one being built in Socal by a past CS champ - wont be done before the tour, but it will be at natls.

 

Isn't Ryan the only CS champ living in SoCal presently?
