New GGR zone 7 autocross rules, what do people think??? Options

[anthony]

I'm curious, what do people think? Is the 914 going to rule the lowest (under 350 points) category? A stock 944 Turbo, 924S, 924 Turbo, 944S, 928S, early 911s, 74-75 911 Carrera will also be in that category. Will any of these cars be competitive against a 914.

The stock 914-6 with 400 base points seems to have been particularly screwed. The 914-2L has 300 base points.

Is this points system used elsewhere? Can we look at another region's AX results and figure out which cars will rule each class?

Do people even care about classes or is everybody essentially racing against themself?

Here's the website for the new rules proposal. You can fill out a form for your car and all of it's modifications and see where you are:

I am fully in favor of the new rules. Right now there are so many classes that for most people there are only 2 or maybe 3 people in a class. With these new rules, there would be an average of closer to 15 people per class. Should be very good for competition.

Also, you are only penalized for modifications that you have. Under the current rules, a single modification can put you into a highly advanced class. It is fine if you start with a stock car and plan your mods accordingly, but if you buy a car that has been modified in any way, you could end up in race car oriented classes.

If you support the new rules proposal, please e-mail members of the rules committee. They will be deciding on whether these new rules will go into effect at a meeting on Oct 2. Your feedback is very important. The decision will be highly influenced on whether they believe that most people support the new rules or not.
