This is great news. I've done a few SCCA run events and always asked where my (or our type) car would be in class-wise...nobody could answer. Got a lot of "well it depends..." answers. Also, I've always been well received because most of the SCCA guys can't believe how our big old heavy cars could possibly turn and brake as well as they do.
It will just add more weekend options for us to go enjoy our cars more
