Yaris Solo class change...

Some guys in the Cal CLub region were telling me that they were writing to create an "IS" class, for the smaller econo boxes. They reason these cars stand little chance in HS.

I'll write that letter. Hopefully, it will help.

Regional and National classes are two different animals. If you get pigeon holed into a Regional only class you better not plan on running in another Region, at a Divisional or National event, where they likely won't offer that class.

A National class is one that is offered by every SCCA Region. If you are setting your car up for Cal Club's CST or CSM you would be hosed if you went down and ran an event in San Diego. I personally see little upside to Regional only classes, they set you up to fail if you ever aspire to run with another Region or at a big event. They serve a purpose for that group, but only that group.

p.s. do not use the SEB website to submit a letter in support of Cal Club's Regional class, the SEB has nothing to do with a local class, they only work on Natl stuff. I think if you want something to happen within Cal Club you need to join one of the teams, and talk to your team rep about it.
