Now that's an update! plus bonus new rank for the person first to post fastrack.

TECH BULLETINS
1. Stock: Per the SAC, the following new listing, effective immediately upon publication, is added to Appendix A (ref. 09-496):

It's about time!

oh, and the kit car stuff is cool too...

aww crap, now i have a title to defend. now i'm never going to win again.

I thought you were all about the 911 in the new AS. Interesting garage floor.

I would love one... But the house purchase has cut heavily into the discretionary cash fund - that and with the Expedition hitting 160k it is time for a new tow rig, before a new toy. Maybe AS in 2011.

Yes, the previous owners son fancied himself a bit of an artist. :unimpressed: I got rid of the stuff on the walls and cabinets, but the floor has not been a priority.

Don't buy that Boxster S yet...Rumor is that CS listing is a mistake.

Move from SS to AS:
Chevrolet
Corvette (‘97-‘04, C5 chassis, non-Z06)
Mazda
RX-7 (‘93-‘95)

Paging Steve Towers and Tom Kenna. Time to renew the Corvette VS RX-7tt battle.

By some strange alignment of the planets, I got the SCCA e-mail notice today instead of two days later! Must have added more squirrels to the e-mail servers in Topeka.

It is...

ITEM 26) Change the 4th sentence of 15.1.C to read as follows: “The updating and/or backdating of engines, transmissions, transaxles, or unibodies must be done as a unit; component parts and specifications of these units may not be interchanged.”

What is the intent of this rule? Adding unibodies to the rule opens a huge can of worms.

Hot diggity dog. Now I can get spanked by a whole new group. My Z06 shopping is a little less important (maybe).

Would seem Mr. Towers would have the specific model and options to have???

cause welding small parts from one unibody on to another is a huger can of worms.

Yeah, but they also have a change that specifically excludes welding within update/backdate. I already thought welding was excluded, but that language is being added to another Section 15 rule. I suppose redundant rules have a purpose. Maybe.

There are some members of the greater Solo community who are of the habit of extending a rule beyond what's written because it's their opinion that's what was meant. I can't say anything more without assurances I can enter the Autocross Witness Protection Program. }:)

Someone wanted to cut off/weld on a bracket/brace that is on a different year chassis but on the same line. It doesn't open up anything, it just makes it extra clear you can't chop cut rebuild without an allowance to do so.

Seemed clear before, but OK. I was a little worried some might extend an imaginary definition of unibody.

Dang! There goes my plans to weld an NA Miata unibody unto my NB chassis. Figured I could'a saved about 5-6lbs!

The way I intepret the FastTrack is the class changes noted are recommendations, not done deals. Is that correct? If it is correct, when are finalized changes usually published?

99.9 percent of the time everything they recommend to the BOD is passed, since they aren't usually solo people.

Pretty close to a done deal. With the S2000's moving to BS, I can't figure out who (locally) will be left in AS. Anyone know?
Is this the yellow brick road for Gary Thomason ? As if he needed any help ;)

My car is still in SS....are you suggesting I buy an AS car?

My bad (I think). 98-04 911 (996) moves to AS. What about your car do I have wrong? The Porsche designations baffle me.
