Who's making the move to STU?

I welcome everything except the turbo BMWs Inc the Supra. If they do let them in I wouldn't sell my car or anything. I'm way too attached. I would just build it for a different class. Maybe that new XS class is where I'll end up, or focus more on open track/time attack where it appears a wider a variety of cars can be competitive.

It would be hard to match the power to weight ratio of the new turbo stuff within the limits of stu.

If you're moving classes, I hear BSP is a ton of fun.

I'm def open to it. The only reservation I have is the logistics of r-comps. Maybe a tire trailer would be the key. We'll see.

Gomer, do you think we can manage 315 square in STU trim on 11s?
I've seen your involvement in other older threads about running 315s on the front on 10s with what appear to be unmodified fenders, but I was unclear if that was on a car that was lowered or not. Also, I ultimately suspect wheel fitment and offset to be a larger problem than tire in this respect but I could be wrong.

I mostly agree here, it's the addition of a bunch of new cars that would shake things up moreso than the other rule changes. New participants would be nice but not at the expense of the current participants, that's how I see it.

I don't wanna run R-comps to go to BSP
It'll probably be fine particularly if folks write in letters with nuanced thoughts, but I can't just sell this car so if things go that south I too would move into a different competition and away from autocross (which would be opposite of their goal of increasing participation).

the nice thing is we probably wont see too many even if they allow them in the class. its the same reason why there were only two cayman out there at nats last year. the car may be dominant, but they also perform really well stock with just tires. for a lot of owners it doesn't make sense to spend possibly $10k to do something unproven when the car can win in the street class. so if they let them in it will be 2021 season and then maybe another year or 2 before somebody develops a competitive platform and ruins everything lol.
