I don't know if this is a vicious rumor or not but I just heard that apparently, they are going to allow the Evo into STX. Supposedly, this will be published in the next edition of Fastrack.

 

I saw that on the street touring board on yahoo groups. I think it is great. AND the STi won't be allowed because it is 2.5 liters.

 

STX?

 

what's stx?

 

heh noobs, stx is one step above stock in auto-x

and I really really doubt the evo will be in stx, but nice wishful thinking!

 

Actually, I think it is very likely. This info was from a reliable source at one of the National Tour events. Doubt all you want, but I think you may just be in denial--the wrx will finally have some competition in STX.
It should be confirmed in the next FastTrack.

 

 

HAHAHAHA major ownage going on there... all because of that "cheater" displacement increase and it still looses all the comparison tests against the EVO

Watch, the EVO's insurance rates will also end up being half what the big-engined STI's are too...

 

Stx would be a great class for the evo. I ran quicker in novice yesterday than all of the cars in Stx. The quickest in Stx was around 59.x, I ran 57.0's. Actually my times were in the top 10-15 cars out of 115. Not bad for me being a long time drag racer the first time out in the Evo. If the Evo is allowed in Stx, that is what I'll be running it in next time.

 

Mee too!!!

 

I gotta say that the EVO being allowed in STX is complete BS. I ran with 2 EVO's Yesterday at the NY SCCA AutoX with my Infiniti G35C.
The EVO can destroy almost anything in the STX class. But oh well. I feel bad for some of the WRX's in that class.

 

Yeah, I was surprised the insurance premium for my EVO is 1/2 what I paid for the S2000. The STi should be quite a bit higher.

 

STX would be great! Who did you hear it from? Did you hear it would be published in the next fastrack? I may contact Doug Gill at SCCA to confirm for the group. If true, I predict STX will become an EVO spec class- but who's complaining

 

I was there at the Petersburg Pro when it was being discussed.

I heard it with my own ears.

Some back up for the conversation is showing up over on the SCCA Forums...

Not sure if I want to run ESP or STX, though locally I am winning both with stock tires still...
