Start a new off shoot, let the s-197, the new camro, the Vette and others in! You can call it"AA" for American Aluminum :)
Then you can really freak your wife out when you tell her where you're going for the weekend :)

Kinda like the GRM ultimate track car challenge - have a class for turn-key / professionally developed cars and another for those of us who slapped a cage in a street car and are "developing" it over many years as the budget permits. If it's not practical to move either group out of AI, maybe regions like ours should consider a split points system. Guys who built their own car could compete for a season "constructor's" championship and the turn-key guys could compete for a "manufacturer's" championship, at least at the regional level. Doesn't establish parity but it at least acknowledges the gap...
Just so its clear to everyone (should be, but there's some shit I keep reading btw the lines) - my S197 is a street car with a cage and I am "developing" it over many years as the budget (and just as importantly the time and talent) permits. Kyri and I were wanting to start the build on our second car and to run both in AI in which case its planned to be a salvaged S197 with a carb'd 351 5 speed, $1500 suspension, $2k brakes and home brew aero. We had planned to take the same approach as with the #404 (keep it a couple days work from CMC for a variety of reasons) but now the S197 fear/hate is full on in CMC and apparently creeping around in AI so I am really starting to rethink whether NASA is worth the effort....I'll surface again in December before I pull the trigger. Have fun at NOLA...see some of you in Austin.
