Being in New London I'm assuming that you're going to run the NER
events.  Last year in the NER the two street touring cars were an A2
Jetta and an 86 GTI.  I'd say they will definately let you run.  There is
no way that they can say your car is anymore sports car based than
an A2 GTI.  You can Mail Chang Ho Kim the solo2 chairman at
solochair@aol.com to make sure.
I'll prolly be running against you in non points events in my GLX.  Mail
me about how you plan to set it up.  I'm helping set up the replacement
for the ST 86 GTI(RIP), a 1.8 16v GTI.  Do you plan on running ST, STR or
STU?

Hey Josiah, you going to run in an ST class or DSP next Year?
