  • SCCA Updates for 2022

    The update to PAX for 2022 is now available. Link below.


    A bit of controversy in some of the PAX going forward. Mainly, the concern is with F Street PAX. Why the controversy? Well, that brings me to the next point of 2022...

    There have been a few classing changes. You can read more in the December Fastrack linked below.
    65,000+ door-to-door, cone clipping and dirt-throwing individuals make us the largest amateur motorsports club in the United States.


    The main notable changes here are:
    What would have been A Street narrow body C6 Corvette will be in B Street in 2022 along with NA Porsche 911 99-04.
    The A Street 2021+ Toyota Supra will now also be moving down to B Street to join it's predecessor.
    The "track ponies" 6th Gen Camaro SS 1LE and S550 Mustang GT350 will now be in F Street. This is the move that has brought controversy regarding F Street PAX for 2022. The modified PAX value after moving cars that trophied in B Street to F Street is extraordinarily soft. B Street PAX value for 2022 is 0.818 and F Street was going to be 0.807 for 2022, but after moving the "track ponies" to F Street, it is now going to be 0.808. Since a Camaro SS 1LE got second and was leading until the last B Street car made it's run at nats, makes some concern and controversy to that move. It's going to be interesting to see how poorly this will play out in "fixing" F Street participation nationally.

    TireRack has been acquired by Discount Tire. No more feeling guilty ordering your tires from Discount Tire when Tire Rack has been great to support the SCCA for years. They do plan to keep supporting the SCCA and keep the Tire Rack brand alive. Read more in link below.

    Also, the 2022 National event schedule is now available from the SCCA for those who would be interested in attending national events.

    I'll definitely be going to some of these, and if you'd like to tag along for your first national event, or just have some company for your attendance, keep in touch with me.

    If at first you don't succeed, you probably put it in the ditch.

    Update:
    Due to criticism, backlash, or possible hindsight, the PAX for F Street has changed again to a value of 0.814 to be closer to the B Street PAX of 0.818

    This is going to make the "track ponies" on more even footing, but, it really does destroy any chance of being competitive overall with anything that is not a GT350 or Camaro SS 1LE in F Street. I think the BMW M3 ZCP can still hang, but it too will have a mountain to climb.

    This was done in an attempt to "fix" F Street, so, again, it will be interesting to see what happens next.

      The second paragraph might be confusing for some folks. The track pony inclusion itself makes those the likely dominant cars in FS. PAX does not affect that at all of course.

        Yes, good clarification.
        I was referring to the track ponies being on a bit more even footing in regards to the PAX values of other classes.
        The other F Street cars, well... let's just say CarMax gave me a great offer for mine and gave me a check on the spot.
