It's true that cars such as yours will not be eligible at national events beginning next year, but I think your comments about being banned are possibly a little strong!

As I said in my post, larger displacement 2WD vehicles will more than likely still be allowed to run at regional events, and Ray has indicated RSO will likely be keeping the status quo, at least for the near future.

Based on 2012 numbers competing in the OPRC, including the regional portions of Perce Neige, Defi and Tall Pines, you would lose just over 20% of the total stage kilometers available (654km out of a possible 843km). Over the course of six events, this is a still significant amount of events and stages available. (considerably more than the total stage kilometers available to those in western Canada by way of comparison). I would feel still gives you good value for your investment.

That being said, the possibility of allowing 'grandfathered' cars to compete in some fashion is an option the Board can look into, if there is a reasonable number of competitors asking for it. Similarly, your point about seeding is well taken, and we can also look into alternative methods of accruing seed points for those who don't compete nationally.

Please contact me, or Bruno Carre (your competitor representative on the Board, competitorrepresentative@carsrally.ca) with your ideas, and I will make sure they are brought forward for discussion.
