AHH! Don't even get me started in the B.S. SCCA politics. . .
The BMW's can win every single year with no problems. An EVO wins TWICE, and they raise the minimum weight for all AWD cars.
Then we go back to concrete where the AWD "advantage" is all but gone, and the BMW's win by nearly 2 seconds. Do they raise the minimum weights for RWD cars????????? (that is a rhetorical question because everyone knows the answer is NO!)
I freakin' hope it rains every single day this year and the BMW's STILL win. Sure, I won't have a Champions jacket - but at least I can cry myself to sleep at night telling myself that the system isn't fair! It's the SCCA MAN keeping me down!

Worth to mention when you run on tarmac , the fwd cars has no restriction... So how would you like where we run? We limited to 300 and below whp , but 2 wd cars are open.
I runned against them, they simply destroy you. Around 500lb and above lighter same tire size and who knows where they ending up in hp...
Since the ford launched they fiesta and getting involved with rally this is just getting worst...
US just have way too much politics...

I have to tell you this to understand. Better... If you want I will delete it from here, since off topic but related you SCCA post.
At my last race after the practice the loud speakers on the podium was an interview with the Ford factory driver and Xgames driver Duplassis. (I have a video footage)
He and the team stated they are here to win the overall rally car category etc. It will be a good commercial base for they campaing, pluss here are the subarus also to make history for Vermony sports car (rally america- Xgames) and ford. They are in hand in hand...
Long story short n one subaru made it to the first place with a wrc driver muliple usa rally champ eu rally champ guy with a subaru america factory team / backed open car. (Not rally) he had 750 wtq I know that from fact and all you need, like sequantial shifter etc. Its a factory car.
So anyway we won the overall and the rally1( highest class) category...
There was. 3 podium ceremony, one for vintage cars , one for rally one for open class, right
There was travel channel - speed etc out there. Each winner was and sometimes second place guys was intervied on the podium.
Guess who was the one got the trophy and literally pushed a way?...
This is how it feelt, here it is and get out of here...
So talking about politics in racing... I feel it every time I race... The other RA hill climb I also won and even today I still haven't reicived my trophy... How you like that ? LOL
They are happy I don't have money to actually practice and run more events as far as I think.
In closing : there is shirts calendars etc came out abouth that race , will on tv etc.
I couldn't find anything about my car, but with ford and subaru...
Think about this vs you got slammed with weight restriction....
cheers Rob.
Ps: at least we all know , when they see Evo, they go like : "damnnnnnnnn

Car looked like it was balanced pretty well through that record lap. Looks like the rear got a little greasy after that. Nice setup.
Does your car have the 4:11 gears?
