At the 2014 SCCA Solo Nationals there were 3 cars (5 drivers) in CAM-T and 6 cars (7 drivers) in CAM-C (all newer than 1980). I don't understand the thought of excluding all of those cars and drivers from the PT game?

My scenario isn't that much different than Mark's except my way doesn't turn anyone away, it just moves them to a more competitive class for them.


2014 CAM Contemporary Entrants by finishing position:
1 2011 Chevrolet Camaro (would be in CAM-W)
2 1982 Ford Mustang (would be in CAM-W)
3 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (would be in CAM)
4 2005 Ford Mustang (would be in CAM-W)
5 1982 Ford Mustang (would be in CAM-W)
6 2005 Ford Mustang (would be in CAM-W)
7 1988 Pontiac GTA (would be in CAM)


2014 CAM-Traditional Entrants by finishing position:

1 1967 Chevrolet Camaro (would be in CAM-W)
2 1964 Chevy Nova (would be in CAM)
3 1969 Chevrolet Camaro (would be in CAM)
4 1969 Chevrolet Camaro (would be in CAM)
5 1964 Chevy Nova (would be in CAM)

In both the Pro-Solo Invitational and the Solo Nationals, the cars noted with CAM-W all ran pretty similar times while the CAM cars were also very competitive with each other. I see no reason to separate them out by model year.

In our local SCCA region in just CAM, my 1985 Monte Carlo raced very competitively all year long against the 2011 Camaro above and a 2000 Pontiac WS6. Once the Camaro put on a good set of tires and some mods, he started beating us like a drum, but the Pontiac and I were both on the exact same tires and brakes and we ran nearly identical times all year long.
