SCCA Classes the GP

Each month the SCCA issues a monthly newsletter, called the Fastrack, with rules updates that have been accepted. Included in the March Fastrack was notice of the acceptance of a petition to include the GP in D Street Prepared (DSP). ÂÂÂ
Page 42, Item 23, Street Prepared: Add new listings, effective immediately upon publication, as follows:
Mini Cooper S JCW GP DSP (same line as current Cooper S listing) (ref. 06-345)

So where is the 2007 S model going to be classed? Still G stock? cross fingers
I haven’t seen the R56 classed in a Fastrack yet, but all indications I’ve seen say that the R56 will stay in H-Stock (MC) and G-Stock (MCS) with the R50 and R53. Again though, I haven’t seen anything official from SCCA saying that.
Yeah well. I still wanna see some GPs on the track. SoCalMini talks the talk, but can he walk the walk . . . ?
A GP on OEM 18s and runflats will quickly fade into your rear view, Sid.

you’ve never driven one have you?
I’m really not interested in your answer either.
r56lvr – I meant the above as an answer to what I initially saw as trolling, but then realized maybe Sid has a super MINI and you were comparing the GP to that. IF that’s the case then apologies.
Just for the record, I have been on the track with Sid. He has a very nice JCW that has been modded some and he’s a real hotshoe on the track.
Robble – Glad to see you are on Troll Patrol. (Sort of like those Rent-a-Cops that patrol gated communities…) Keep up the good work.
Sid has a well prepared JCW, but more important, is a solid driver.
Aside from the Wicks NAMCC series and the miniscule MINI participation in SCCA events where can I find large scale MINI racing — both domestic and abroad?
Those motorers that had the foresight to latch on to a GP when they were available now possess a very enviable treasure that may be eclipsed performance-wise in the near term, but unlikely to be aesthetically upstaged by its successors very soon.
I should have specified in my question actual track/road course circuit racing and not auto-cross/rally racing.
Oh Sid… always trying to get a rise, not gonna bite though. I’m having fun with the GP even on the run flats – I’ll let you know how it does this weekend at the BMWCCA AutoX – I’m not running SCCA at this point.
The GP will not be competitive on stock tires, but on DOT-R’s, it might have a shot.
I’ve gotta say, in preparing my Spec Miata, I never figured I’d be competing against MINIs again. Most of the locals who race JCW MCS’s run in STX.
