BMW CCA Club Racing Expands Classes
By Mark Dadgar, BMW CCA Club Racing Staff
Greenville, SC (December 11, 2008) -- BMW CCA Club Racing is delighted to announce that beginning in 2009 it will accept BMW race cars prepared to other sanctioning bodies’ class rules. These cars will run within their foreign classes at BMW CCA Club Racing-sanctioned events.
BMW CCA Club Racing has a well-defined set of rules with five preparation levels and classes that were designed to be inclusive, providing a place for members to race their cars. Currently there are some provisions for BMWs that may not meet the specific preparation requirements to participate within the existing class structure. The change maintains the BMW CCA Club Racing classes while welcoming BMW’s prepared to other road racing classes as well.
The non-BMW CCA Club Racing classes will be integrated into the program following the BMW CCA Club Racing rules with one exception; they will not be eligible for National Championship points. However, they will participate for Regional Championships in their respective classes; this is, of course, independent of the sanctioning body for whose class the car is prepared.
While BMW CCA Club Racings preparation levels and classes have a place for all race prepared BMWs, this change recognizes several factors: 1) The BMW CCA Club Racing program is limited. With only 40 events per year there may not be enough activity in the area near the members to warrant their preparing a car to the BMW CCA Club Racing rules and another sanctioning body may provide more events locally. With this change they can participate in both their local series and the BMW CCA Club Racing series equally. 2) When prepared to other sanctioning bodies rules the drivers may be disadvantaged when classed with cars fully prepared to the BMW CCA Club Racing rules. With this change drivers can participate in two series with the same preparation rules. 3) The potential for larger fields at any given event provides excitement for the participants and incentive for the promoters.
