The Future of AS
#25256 from Club Racing Board · Member feedback requested · Minutes (2019-01 Fastrack)
The CRB has been researching ideas to increase participation in AS and would like your
feedback on the below questions regarding American Sedan. No decisions have been
made, as the CRB is truly interested in your perspective. The below items would never be
implemented all at once, but are truly intended to gain the pulse of the community in terms of
potential change for the future. Please provide your feedback through the letter log system,
crbscca.com. Note that all BOP would be based on data and the responsibility of the CRB.
The results of this WDYT are shown below. There were 18 that responded; however, not
every letter answered every question. The CRB thanks each author who contributed a

letter.
1. Are you interested in AS moving to an FI option for every AS car? Yes: 5; No: 12
2. Should AS Full Prep go to a larger wheel? If so, what size? Yes: 3; No: 14
3. Should AS Full Prep go to larger diameter brake rotors? If so, what size? Yes: 2; No: 14
4. Should AS have a spec tire to lower costs? If so, R-type compound? 100 Treadwear? 200
Treadwear? Yes: 9; No: 8 Note: Most “YES” responses were for the harder compound “R”
tire.
5. Should AS allow more aerodynamics devices? If so, what would you recommend? Yes: 1;
No: 14
6. Should AS allow the participation of T2 pony cars (same years as AS) into the class? If so,
should they come in “as is” or have changes such as ABS disabled, restrictor size changes, or
weight changes? Yes: 11; No: 7 with the caveat that they must disconnect their ABS (as AS
cars currently do) and they must come in heavier and with smaller restrictors until data defines
BOP with other AS cars.
7. Former AS drivers: Why do you not race anymore? What kinds of things would entice you
to return? The CRB thanks all respondents for their feedback which will be used as guidance
in the future.
8. Potential new AS drivers: What kinds of priorities are important for you to come into the
class? The CRB thanks all respondents for their feedback which will be used as guidance in
the future.
