Dave, with regards to supercup:
1. Did you mean to say the Lindsey Racing blue clubgate? The red one is a dual port and is not approved by PCA like the blue one.
2. PCA SP3 specifies a rear single plane wing must be 9 inches below the roofline. Please clarify.

Yes, blue, not red. Change to Cup rules has been made to reflect. And, PCA is also going to change their rules for SP3 to reflect the change in the use of a wing per Cup rules.
PCA is also going to make a change that will include the 944 models for the use of aftermarket cast or forged pistons for all SP2 cars, either stock size or factory-type overbore for repair. They must maintain stock CR and displacement..

Looking forward to 2012... some nice developments here in the PacNW with our own dedicated class in Conference, the ability to once again run double entries, and another great new track (Ridge Motorsports Park) coming online.
