July Fastrack ...

[Reijo]

There are a number of class changes, event procedures (re:  re-runs procedure etc.), rules changes that merit your attention.  I would suggest reading this one over for everyone:

Wow, big moves in classing. This is going to shake things up quite a bit.

The most notable one is the FRS/BRZ moving into DS (except for the infamous TRD springs version)

The E46 M3 is going into DS too along with a ton of other FS cars, holy crap!

The Cayman and some of the earlier S models moves into BS too

New underdog in HS

I always thought I was the underdog in HS?

Everyone should keep in mind that these are all still proposals out for member comment. This is the second round of proposals, and contains significant differences from the first round, which for example included the NC1 Miata and 986 Boxster moving to ES.

Stephen makes a good point. The various committees creating the proposals are actively seeking input from the members. If you're an SCCA member you can provide your comments here:

You're half right... twice. The E36 M3 is proposed for a move from CS to DS, and the E46 non-M3s are also proposed for a move from FS to DS. I don't think either will be able to get it done, unfortunately, although the cheapskate in me is tempted to try an E36 nonetheless.

I have been seeing fairy good condition E46 M3's going for low 20K locally... what a great bang for your buck. I kind of expect to start seeing them showing up in Autocross more often with how affordable they are now.

[Sprockett]

To be clear, E46 M3s are not proposed to move and are an FS car. Also, I noted they seem to be appreciating now...not getting cheaper.

E46 M3's are definitely getting more expensive, so much so that they're getting close in price to a E92 (which are still depreciating).

I am pretty interested in where you guys are seeing this trend, I wasn't even aware that they had been going up in value.

Kijiji has around 20 E46 M3's selling for between 13K~20K in Alberta, but all of the E92 M3's I saw start from about 39K and most have an asking price of at least 45K attached to them.

I know our local market doesn't always keep up with the trends of other larger markets though

Decent E46 M3's are usually in the low to mid 20's with some reaching up to the 27-29k range. I've seen E92's (granted 08's) go as low as the 28-29k range with alot of them ending up in the 30-35k range. Winter is a great time to look for one as well as they are usually a bit cheaper.
