Touring 3 Pushes SCCA Club Racing National Class Count to 25

 

TOPEKA, Kan. (Nov. 15, 2005) - Sports Car Club of America's Board of
Directors has announced the approval of the new national-level class
Touring 3, which pushes the class count to 25, the most national classes
in SCCA Club Racing since it was 25 in 1996.

 

The T3 class, which ran previously as a regional class only, will join
the Spec Miata class as a new addition on the national scene for 2006.

 

"There are a number of sports cars and sedans currently being produced
that fit between the Touring 2 and Showroom Stock B performance level,"
SCCA Club Racing Director Terry Ozment said.  "We expect Touring 3 to
follow suit with Touring 2 and become one of the fastest-growing
National classes."

 

Among the several newer-model cars that will call T3 home are: Audi TT
Quatro, Chevrolet Cobalt SS, Ford Mustang GT, Lexus IS300, Mazdaspeed
Miata, Mazda RX-8, Mini Cooper S w/ John Cooper Works package, Saturn
Ion Redline, Scion TC and Subaru Impreza WRX.
