So what's the new special category for next year?

Some of us need to plan. 

I think CAM cars would be amusing to see.  I'm genuinely interested in trying next year.  And it would be neat to see how fast you loons could go with a SCCA CAM legal build for ~$2K

I heard it was three cylinder land yachts

Reliant robins. No training wheels allowed. Ls swaps get bonus points. 

Ahem

Lifted non-truck vehicles. Let's say, things that have at least 12" of ground clearance but have to be actual passenger cars and not trucks/SUVs/crossovers. 

Since there's a huge epic thread up on the front page right now about lifted cars. 

edit: photo of something more what I was thinking...

That one along with the el Camino etc will have the old fashioned debate or protest of is it a car or truck lol

Yeah, I thought about that as soon as I posted the photo. Maybe clarify that it must be a unibody CAR so that you can't do a body lift, but would instead have to do it either with really big tires or really tall suspension. 

You're going to need to widen the autocross so you can fit the track width those will require. 

Land Yacht!!!

Exactly!

Cam would be awesome! 

Cam?  What is this of which you speak?

I thought the discussion went towards a specialty tire class ($80 a tire new price) or was that different from the specialty vehicle class?

The decision was not made. It was left to decide on the forum. 

That may have been unwise! 

Movie/Sitcom Cars

British Cars ?

I know where you’re going with it.  I don’t have anything laying around that fits the bill

I like the pirate ship idea. 

$80 tire class I feel would be interesting. Cam would look good in the magazine 

Bike motor class?

Fixed tire type and size but must be a cheep tire.  (Sponsor opportunity here). Playing on the $80/tire noted previously.

I don't actually have a dog in this fight, 'cause there's no way for me to field a challenge car 'till 2021-ish.

That being said, I could see CAM cars being a good direction.  It could solve some of the "what do I do with it after challenge" questions people face, plus would be relevant for the magazine from a "see these are real competition vehicles" angle... plus it might help get more people out to more "grassroots motorsports" events.

$80 tire class doesn't seem like it would be very fair to various cars. Obviously the cars running 15" wheels like a Miata can get better tires for $80 than something that needs 17" tires, for example....

Spec no season. 500tw minimum. The more chinesium the better.
