I plan to submit this, but I figured some discussion might be worth it first.
Quote:
[4.3 A)– Classes
a) All Wheel Drive / 4 Wheel Drive
b) Front Wheel Drive
c) Rear Wheel Drive
d) Prepared AWD / 4WD - see prep notes
e) Prepared 2WD - see prep notes
Vehicles that will compete in prepared classes: Including (a) Race, Performance Rally prepared vehicles .(b) vehicles with other than OEM (as the vehicle in question came from the factory) drive train (engine, transmission, rear ends, etc.) and or suspension modifications, and harness. (c) vehicles that have had parts removed that cause a weight reduction(seats, carpets, headliners, air conditioning, ABS, etc..)
Reasoning:
Pretty simple. Attendance has been extremely good compared to a couple years ago, but classes have remained the same. I think there's room to split the prepared class in two. Stock is split up, but prepared just lumps it all together. There's already one prepared 2WD car with 3 entries avg per event, a couple 2WD rally cars around and others* interested in building 2WD cars. I don't foresee it being a *huge* class, but I think a few would make the jump if it existed. Enough to get a solid 5+ entries per event which is on par with stock RWD and AWD anyway. I'm proposing it as 2WD just because that's how national rules do it anyway.
*Yes, I am one of those people along with my codriver.
Alternative option to not add a class: Combine stock FWD and stock RWD to stock 2WD.
And totally out of left field option: Nix prepared, nix prep rules and just split by drivetrain. Expand spec yaris to spec crapbox to include a host of similar cars for true budget competition?
