SCCA is considering adding Pro Touring classes.

I've got my proposal in hand and have time allotted at our Solo Advisory Committee meeting this coming Tuesday. With the Solo Advisory Chair's help we took Dave's ruleset above and changed just a few things to line it up more clearly with the SCCA rulebook (mainly safety items). Our plan is to institute the new PT classes as provisionary for the rest of 2013 and make them trophy eligible in 2014.

One of the things they want me to speak of during my time is how this might help bring more participants to our events. I did some looking into Good Guys events last night and found out the GGs event usually held at Kansas Speedway Labor Day weekend has been cancelled. I had planned on saying that I'd attend that event and speak with as many car owners as could there telling them about the new PT classes with our SCCA club, but that ain't happening now. I see this as both bad and good. Bad as it takes away an opportunity for me to see a lot of these owners in one place, but good because it drives home the point of driver's that would typically autocross at this event, not being able to now as it's gone away.

Anyway, my plan if this comes to fruition is to decal my car up and hit a few cruise ins around the area with brochures and pamphlets showing the schedule and ruleset of the new class. Hopefully this will garner up some interest from the PT crowd. Our cruise in's are pretty well attended, by both regular car owners and shops owners that drive their personal cars out to them as promotional means.



Anyway, wish me luck... Our SAC meeting is next Tuesday.

Good luck Lance. I don't know if I will make any more KCRSCCA events this year, but it would be fun to see some more pro touring cars running.
