Well, word is getting out that SCCA is looking at some new classes. This might go down as one of the worst kept secrets.

I have heard some rumors about classing, but basically we can expect to see some new Street Tire classes, not just STS. Perhaps something called Street Tired Unlimited or Exotic.

Perhaps the perfect place for an Elise to play. Wait and see, more news will be coming out. This will be a provisional class. That means your region is free to adopt it, but they may not, and although allowed to run at Nationals, they will not formally have a National Champion.

Stay tuned!

Since nobody else posted the update here: STS2 (and STU) have been approved as supplemental classes. From the announcement about STS2: "STS2 will follow the STS rule set, but the eligible cars will be restricted to two-seaters with engine displacements of 1.8 liters or less. [..] Excluded vehicles include Lotus (all), [..]"

So unless they allow the Elise later (which I doubt), it won't be able to run there.
