Responding to some things said in the email thread about the poll results –
I haven’t been doing this long enough to be a good judge of the F22 tires. I am having a problem with my crown gear, but that might be because I lost my rear axle spacers and have not been using them. Other people seem to have some problems. That being said, we had a vote and they made the cut. I know most of you have been doing this a lot longer me, but for my 2 cents I’d say the important thing is keeping it fair. Sounds like these cars might have their quirks and those quirks are there for all of us; i.e. – it’s fair.
I agree that it’s a bummer Group C didn’t make the cut, but again we had a fair vote.
Finally (and I don’t know if this question can be answered now), seems like the Ferrari 512 and BMW could be the likely “go to” cars for the Racer Sideways Group 5 series. Do we know if any cars will be banned? I have Thanksgiving break coming up and trying to figure out which car to get so I can work on it.
An advantage to having only one rally event is it leaves more track idle time for scenic work to continue.
Group C is more a source of frustration than enjoyment for me, so I won’t miss it.
I am looking for a group 5 car as well. And I thought the Moslers were ugly!

-Warren ZevonI guess the major decisions left with regards to 2025 series are scheduling, race managers, and rules.
I volunteer to be race manager for Targa Florio, and I nominate Randy to be race manager for th Revoslot SCCA B Sedan (Group 2)
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonI voted for the top 4 of the top six. I own some Targa Florio 1966-1969 cars without 3D chassis. So I am set with buying a Revoslot Toyota GT-1. I thought the vote was the decision maker. Am I wrong?
We had a discussion at the October meeting that we could skip the Group C class this year and bring it back in 2026, so I was not surprised it did not make the top 6.
I like the 70-73 Targa Florio cars better, but can wait a year. I would like two rally races, but I do not want to sacrifice one of the chosen classes except the Toyota GT. We can run the 66-69 rally series twice, for 7 classes, late in 2025 to let scenic work go forward.
Thanks for the nomination Datto. Happy to do it. SCCA B sedan was one of my favorite live races where the “Bees” mixed it up with the A Sedans. The rules should be pretty simple being box stock except for tires and guides.
With the Racer/Sideways GRP 5, I am not seeing any new cars with an inline configuration, only angle winder. Only angle winder motor pods as well. That being the case, will the series be open to angle winder? Some of us don’t have cars yet, and some of us (ahem) Ordered a car and did not find out until looking underneath.
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonI see that I can use a Slot.it inline pod. Will that be allowed?
"Enjoy every sandwich"
-Warren ZevonI hope we will allow angle winder configuration. I have the BMW 320 Fruit of the Loom livery I want to run, and it is an angle winder.
Given my affinity for a certain color… this is what I’ll be running for Group 5
Attachments:
I am assuming we are using the same rule set as last time we ran a Sideways car but the rules specify all slot.it internals and inline was mandatory.
Here are the rules for the last time we ran Group 5

That’s because Mosler’s are ugly 🙂
