I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS NEW CATEGORY, ACTUALLY NOT EVEN A FAN
OF THIS CATEGORY WITH IT'S CURRENT GUIDELINES, BUT MY OBSERVATIONS ARE AS
FOLLOWS:

    THE CLASSIC CLASS CRITERIA WAS USED. BODY, ENGINE AND ALL PERTINENT
EQUIPMENT. DON'T KNOW IT THE OWNERS WERE ASKED, BUT THEIR CARS NO LONGER FIT
THE OLD CLASS.

    QUITE A BIT OF TIME AND EFFORT WAS EXPENDED TO MAKE SURE ALL THE CARS

    DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS QUESTION AS THE XO AND XF CARS JUST STAY WHERE

   I HAVEN'T SEEN, OR HEARD OF, ANY CAR SO FAR THAT WAS INCORRECTLY
RECLASSIFIED. IF THERE WAS A MISTAKE MADE PROBABLY THE SCTA SHOULD BE
