[Autox] Class Participation at Nationals

[Ben Thatcher]

Rocky, I like your idea for getting rid of the class sunset rules.

It amazes me how really insensitive the SCCA Solo BOD are to the 
investment of money and time on the part of competitors.

Those of us with C4 Corvettes in BSP got a real taste of this 
insensitivity in 2006 when the Rally Cars were moved into the class. In 
2005 we had 29 competitors all RWD and a lot of fun. Each year, since, 
BSP participation numbers have plummeted.

I spent well north of $20k setting up my Corvette and all that went 
south in 2006. I haven't been back to Nationals since 2005.

I believe that Solo is amateur motorsports at its finest. But SCCA 
should have a system to NOT make driver's investments obsolete with the 
stroke of a pen. SCCA Solo should be inclusive, not exclusive.
