Columns:
Pat Kelly offers some thoughts on Solom II's "direction."
Lorenzo the Scribe passes on alleged warranty problems with
Mitsubishi's Lancer Evo.
Steve Holscher, multiple DSP National Champion in his 1981 Fiat
X1/9, praises the SEB's move to make it easier for a car owner to
change/advance/backtrack from Street Prepared to Prepared.
Editor John Kelly delves into the Prepared class proposals. The
headline on the column sums it up saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix
it."
(As the proposal's components have now appeared in five (5) issues
of SCCA's national magazine--Sports Car--there will be more on this. Does
the SEB really know what it's doing?
(The SEB is also working on the Modified classes, too.
(In A Mod the SEB is proposing raising the minimum weight from 700
to 900 pounds. One month the SEB announced a 200-pound minimum weight
increase for D Mod. In the following month's issue --August--they changed
the D Mod increase to 300 pounds based on the premise American people are
developing larger rears.)
