Some questions for those who have been around the sport for a few years:
What time of year does the SCCA usually release the updated car classes for next season?
How much shuffling of classed and changes to PAX ratings do you normally see?
I'd like to get into a different car for next season as the one wheel drive convertible Mustang is getting frustrating to drive fast. Since it will be the 3rd car in the household only used for summer cruising and solo, no reason not to have something with a somewhat competitive PAX. For example I'd hate to buy an FR-S and have it moved to C street or try to run a 4.6L Mustang in F street (already a long shot) only to have the dominant cars in the class have the PAX moved up several points.
I was hoping to pick something up this fall during the summer car selloff and have the winter to get it in autocross condition but would like some feedback on if I should wait for the new rules or if changes are usually very minor.
Cheers
