whatever the one on www.pca-ggr.org is. That's what the locals use. I don't see why clubs always have 'regional rules' and stuff like that.

yes, that's the Golden Gate Region ruleset, and it's generally accepted among all of Zone 7.

the reason different Regions have different rules is that National permits it. the guys at the Rules committee are working to standardise that; i expect it'll be a while.

different areas of the country have different venues, different interests, different access to services - or at least that was historically true. but some regions are geographically HUGE. it makes no sense to even consider travelling outside the Region to an event, unless it's Parade, in which case there are different rules anyway.

one reason different regions have different rules is that guys who make the rules like winning, and sometimes don't like having their prestigous 911 Carrera shown up by entry-level Boxsters or - God forbid - 914's... some Regions highly favor originality and The Old Ways, and will tend to favor 356's (still).

i'm on the borderline where i live, and i think i'm on the threshold of making several small, reasonable modifications the cumulative effect of which may put me in a classification where a full cage and fire suit are required. pretty silly for a street-driven car, i think, so there may be some friction egnerated...
