Nissan 370Z Forum  

Nov Fastrack out!

Sometimes I liken the SEB to the "popular" kids on the high school student body. In that they seemingly make decisions that are "popular" and rarely are founded on facts

Regarding the 370z move to BS. Looking at national level results between BS and CS the 370z looks like it will be able to hold its own in that class. Time will tell. Unfortunately there are far more S2000 drivers than 370z drivers and it wouldn't shock me to see the 370z moved into AS in 2016.

As quick on the trigger as I am to flame club leaders when I think they've acted for personal benefit over that of the club - I don't think that's what happened here. The 370z isn't a small light car with 4cylinder power that gets by on its handling. It's bigger and heavier, but makes up for it with more wheel and extra acceleration. When viewed this way it doesn't "look like" the other CS cars, and the move makes sense.

No, I don't think any one individual has that much pull. At any rate, don't forgot we were the staple of this class for a few years, until the little pissers showed up. The SCCA likes to keep one dominate make per class, Vettes in A, S2000s in B, us in C, etc. Now as the S2000s age on the competitive curve, we can go up there and have some fun, and leave C for the little hipster d-bag mobiles. I do wish however we could find a better home in ST.
