I see that the rule change summary is up on the PCA website.

Wow, AC components get to be deleted, too. In addition to the carpet rule and camber plate rule, the latter being something that I fought especially hard for, I think this is an awesome evolution.

Thanks, PCA committee, for all of your very much appreciated efforts.

small wheels restriction did not go through. Gues CCW is going to get lots of orders for dirt track wheels!

As I am changing my R&P back to stock as I move out of prepared class I think I may go to 16" wheels to compensate!

Difficult to disagree with the outcome (at least what affects me: Stock, Prepared and GTB). Great effort from the PCA committee! Thanks!

Only follow up question re: GTB is where do the Caymans fall? GTB1 (vs 996) or GTB2 (vs. 997)?
Also, if other Caymans different to the Interseries are allowed, would there be a lower min weight if such Caymans have the older non DFI less powerful engine? (Keep the same HP/weight?)

Looks like I will be pulling out my new chip and running G (if I finally get my cage) since that is the only prepared mod I have. Will put it back in if I race nasa GTS3.

Look forward to watching you and Mark go at it in G. And you, Wonger, and Jeff Curtis going at it in GTS3.

16" wheels/R6's have virtually the same rolling diameter as 17" and 18" Dan. Only 15" changes it substantially. Not worth worrying about either way.. someday maybe i'll understand why we need to keep the f^%#%^ passenger seat in a race car....

Hey, the rules changes are for 2010, not 2040! Get back in H where you belong!

Looks like I'll really have my work cut out for me next year . . .

Thanks Scott and Mark. I still need to get the cage and don't know sh*t about racing yet, but look forward to it. Hope to get the cage in the next few mos. Should have the rollbar out this weekend and then taking the car down to a frame shop in Richmond to make sure the car is straight before giving it to Piper.

Looks good.

I still don't understand the Enduro fueling issue. Are they saying you can use hand cranked systems, BUT the fuel can must remain on the cold side of the pit wall? So now people are going to add 10' of hoses so they can reach their car from the cold side fuel can.... and that's considered safer?

if you have a problem with the passenger seat you should have mentioned it before
