Ozark Mountain Region SCCA

Interesting changes.

Street classes got softened up a bit.

HE HATES ME, Rick Ruth truly hates me.

Ok, just let me whine a minute. Cheaper then therapy. So a few years ago, I built a DP car. The next three years, the PAX (ESPecially compared to ESP driver of the year contenders/yahoos) got tougher and tougher... a quarter second here another there and so on...
So then I decide a I want some torque and build the FP turbo car! New 2017 pax numbers are out. Well, here we go again... What kind of pictures do Mark and Opie have of fellow pony car guy Rick?


Here is the rest... listed harder change to easier change. The closer you are to the top, the harder your pax number got. The far right number is how much faster your pax time would be on a 45 second course compared to the 2016 pax time for the same class. So for example, If A mod had to beat a CSP car by 4 seconds last year, next year an AM car will have to beat the CSP car by 4.315 seconds because the AM pax change is 0 while the CSP change is .315 seconds.

And if I remember right, the FR-S/BRZ es move to DS from CS for 2017. That's a huge (relative to the rest of the field) PAX change for them.

I belive the non trd equipped cars move to DS, the ones with it stay CS.
