The BSAC reviewed historical data, results, and past BOP of this platform in arriving at this decision. It is our desire to see MINIs
with the OEM manifold/approved Walker brand manifold competing at events. The BSAC will monitor the performance results
of these changes closely at HST events and the Runoffs over the coming months. Should data show that these cars are outside of
the desired performance window (I.E. too fast OR too slow) at their updated minimum weight, further BOP adjustments will be
made to ensure continued competitive parity. Data from a minimum of three drivers/vehicles from Majors or Super Tour
weekends will be evaluated before any further BOP adjustments are made. No further adjustments will be made to the header
configuration before its expiration on 1/1/27.

#34208 from Club Racing Board · Rule change · TB 23-05 (2023-05 Fastrack)
The popularity of BSPEC has brought heightened attention to the Balance of Performance (BoP). Given the wide diversity of
eligible cars and their designs, driving ability, car preparation/tuning levels, and other variables outside of SCCA’s control, the BoP
in this class has been remarkably close. As compared to IMSA’s job of balancing cars which are all professionally prepared, driven,
and highly instrumented, the job of our advisory committees and CRB is considerably more difficult. There are most certainly
outliers and cars which are superior under certain conditions, but in the absence of BoP regulations which vary from track to track
a perfect balance every weekend is not to be expected. The BoP is set by SCCA for what is perceived to be the ultimate tune and
best driver in a given car across the entire racing season and over as many tracks as can be reasonably sampled. If a car is not
prepared, tuned, and driven to its ultimate capability we cannot expect that it will be on par with cars of other manufacture which
are to such level; the BoP is not a handicap program. And, while the class is named “BSPEC”, it is not a spec class as is FE2 or SRF3.
The more experienced mechanics and drivers will certainly have an advantage over those who only race a few times per season.
Anecdotal observations do not serve the SCCA in working towards a proper BoP, yet that is the type of information most commonly
provided in support of a requested change. Hard data and experience are what drive change to the BoP.
Despite what we believe to be an excellent BoP for this class, there is always room for improvement. The BSPEC Advisory
Committee has recently been charged with the considerable task of classifying cars and refining the technical specifications for
the new T5/CSPEC class and, as a result, does not have sufficient time or resources to address the immediate demands for BoP
adjustments in BSPEC. As a result, veteran CRB members Peter Keane, Tom Start, and Sam Henry have poured through BSPEC
data reports from events over the past eighteen (18) months and have recommended to the CRB the following changes which
were approved during its most recent meeting. These changes will be effective beginning 5/1/2023 for positive adjustments and
6/1/2023 for negative adjustments. Data will be gathered as possible with a focus on continued improvement. Comments and
suggestions regarding same should be forwarded through the official letter system. Your continuing support of BSPEC and SCCA
is greatly appreciated.

35. Maximum 3.5 degrees negative camber is allowed on front and rear suspensions. Strut suspensions may adjust camber by
the use of eccentric bolts (crash bolts) at the strut-to-spindle, slotted strut mounting holes at the spindle, and/or by use of any
slotted camber only adjuster plate at the top of the strut mounting plate. If upper strut slotted plates are used, they shall be
located on existing chassis structure and may not serve as reinforcement for that structure. Modifications to the top of the strut
tower may be made to allow for camber adjustment only. Modifications to the existing holes must only be moved straight
inboard even if the existing slots would translate the top of the strut rearward. On other forms of suspension, camber
adjustment may be achieved by the use of shims and/or eccentric bolts (crash bolts).
36. Suspension: competitors may use the OEM suspension, the specific suspension kit approved on the spec line or any B14
Bilstein shock or strut with no modifications except as required for mounting or to achieve allowed camber. Any camber plate
may be used, but may not alter caster. Caster shall be within factory specification. Any part required to adapt the B14’s to the
car must be submitted for approval by the CRB and added to the individual spec line. Any spring, including ‘helper’ or ‘tender’springs, up to a maximum spring rate of 500 pounds may be used. Helper springs made of thin flat wire that are designed to take
up the gap between the main spring and shock/strut at full travel are allowed. Tender springs are not allowed. Springs are
allowed to be strapped or zip tied to the body. The purpose of the strap should be to keep the spring in place when the axle goes
into rebound. The strap can serve no other function. Bump stops may be deleted but cannot be modified or substituted and
shall serve no other purpose. Adjustable sway bar end links may be used on all cars. Sway bars may be disconnected and
removed.
If a manufacture does not offer an upgrade, a competitor may submit a shock and spring package for approval by the CRB. At the
time of approval, that kit will become the standard for that make and model until the manufacture submits a factory supported
kit.
The competitor supplied kits needs to be comprised of the following:
• Any non-adjustable shock absorber intended for the specific make model and year car is allowed. The shock absorber must be
installed in the original mounting locations. Remote shocks are not permitted. Threaded shock bodies or adjusters may be used.
• Any spring up to a maximum spring rate of 500 pounds may be used with the OEM suspension, the
manufacturer’s upgraded suspension kit, or the Bilstein B14 suspension kit.
37. ECU/PCM: OEM ECU/PCMs is required. Alternate engine calibrations are allowed. The car may meet federal emission
standards, but shall provide OBD II compliant data to the data link connector. Manufacturers may provide a stability control
override procedure or module.
38. B Spec and C-Spec front and rear toe settings are free. Rear toe adjustments may be achieved by the use of shims.
39. Fenders and wheel openings shall remain unmodified. It is permitted to roll under or flatten any interior lip on the wheel
opening for tire clearance. Cars with plastic/composite fenders may remove any interior wheel opening lip, but the resulting

#39754 from BRADLEY DAVIS · Taken care of · Minutes (2026-06 Fastrack)
The committee reinstated the use of the world challenge-era suspension kits for the Mini Cooper. Several of the old world
challenge kits were deleted in an effort to streamline the spec lines and not send new participants on wild goose chases for parts
that have not existed in over a decade. Allowing parts that are not easily findable is not conducive to growing the class and is a

#39550 from Richard Hromin · Taken care of · Minutes (2026-06 Fastrack)
The committee discussed this topic intensely over the past months. Not only within the context of sunsetting the OBX header for
the 07-10 Mini Cooper/Clubman, but also regarding the category as a whole.
We considered as many avenues as we could, which culminated in the decision to approve specific aftermarket replacement
catalysts/exhaust manifolds for each platform. Our rationale for arriving at that decision was as follows:
1. It was the best avenue available to maintain our current BOP
2. It provided parts availability to replace OEM parts that are becoming unavailable
3. Specifying a specific brand and part number is a solution tech can enforce
As these vehicles age, availability of certain parts is going to become an issue. We are already experiencing this phenomenon
with suspension kits, as several Bilstein B14 kits have become difficult or impossible to acquire.
This is also the case with OEM catalysts/exhaust manifolds. For example, the OEM catalyst for the 07-08 Fit is no longer available
from Honda. Additionally, many of these OEM cats/manifolds are cost prohibitive to purchase. An OEM replacement manifold
for a Sonic is over $2,000 plus a core charge. That does not fit the cost-controlled philosophy of B-Spec.
Requiring OEM manifolds made sense with B-Spec was a pro category, as many of these cars were brand new and still in
production. However, this is no longer the case. Allowing an aftermarket replacement version of the OEM parts was a logical
evolution.
The committee did consider allowing the removal of catalyst material from stock manifolds. However, this solution posed
several challenges in terms of tech enforcement, maintaining current BOP, and differences in exhaust configurations within the
category.
There are several catalyst configurations within the category. For example, the Yaris, 1st-generation Fit, and Versa all feature cast
manifolds with a separate primary catalyst.
However, the Sonic, 2nd/3rd-genration Fit, Fiesta, Rio, Accent, Mazda and Mini all have a catalyst that is integrated into the
exhaust manifold. The 2G/3G Fits specifically have a manifold that is a single runner design as the cylinder head features a single
exhaust port.
Due to the variety of exhaust configurations in the category, there was not a one size fits all solution. In most cases, removing
the catalyst material from the manifolds would have required cutting the unit itself open and then re-welding it back together.
For a category that is largely based around bolt-on catalog parts, this solution did not fit class philosophy.
Allowing the removal of catalyst material would have also potentially resulted in a wide-scale BOP change. Which the committee
was not in favor of. That said, we did make specific allowances for the Versa and Yaris to remove their catalysts as they are a
separate unit from the manifold. These were two platforms that appeared to need BOP help. The 1st-generation Fit was already
permitted this allowance last year.
Additionally, we have already made positive BOP adjustments to the Mini in anticipation of the expiration of the OBX header
and will continue to do so if data points to additional changes being needed. Further changes will likely focus on additional
weight reduction, as many of these cars are still racing with over 100# of ballast, but plate changes would also still be
considered.
The expiration of the OBX header leaves the Mazda 2 as the sole platform with an approved aftermarket header in the category.
Thankfully, that part is provided by a direct stakeholder in the series that can guarantee its availability. Which was ultimately not
the case for the supplier of the OBX header than had been approved for the Mini.
Ultimately, our goal as a committee is to provide a ruleset that is fair and cost effective. While there is ultimately only so much
control we have over OEM and aftermarket parts availability, we will continue to do our best to ensure that this does not
become a limiting factor to the category’s growth or BOP management.

The RRCC is currently developing a standardized method to collect and analyze BOP data for all classes. We don't feel that B-
Spec needs to have a unique collection method, even for underrepresented and new models. As an entry-level class, putting the
burden on a driver to purchase a data system in order to justify their car's existence seems counter-culture to the class. The
RRCC & Advisory Committee will strive to obtain data at Hoosier Super Tours and Majors events for emerging models, and we
appreciate any additional assistance that drivers and teams can provide regarding developing cars.

The committee already has approved two positive BOP changes to this car this year, which were a 50 lb. reduction of its
minimum weight and the removal of the primary catalyst. The FPR has been left in place for the time being. It was originally
implemented an effort to balance the aero advantage of the sedan over the hatchback body. The diameter of the FPR was
carefully selected to have a small overall effect on this vehicle's performance. The bore diameter of the Yaris's throttle body is
45mm. Which means the 41/42mm plates that these cars are required to use are not overly restrictive. The committee will
continue to monitor the performance of this vehicle in relation to the rest of the category.

#39321 from Chris Capaldi · Taken care of · Minutes (2026-01 Fastrack)
This has been a topic of intense debate for the BSAC over the past year. The lack of commercial availability of the approved OBX
header for the 07-10 Mini Cooper/Clubman has created a dichotomy of “haves” and “have-nots” among the Mini contingent in
B-Spec, with some drivers resorting to cloning the approved part or paying thousands of dollars for an existing unit. The BSAC
has weighed and debated numerous options for how to handle this situation. Ultimately, we have determined that the best
course of action for the long term viability of the category is to eventually expire this header from spec lines that is currently
permitted on and robustly ensure the competitiveness of the OEM manifold/catalyst configuration.
While the BSAC is aware that there are plenty of cars currently competing with this header or a counterfeit version, there are
also competitors are not and either cannot find this part, or cannot afford to purchase an existing example or have one cloned.
As Chris pointed out in his letter and as the committee concluded as well, this does not preserve fairness and technical parity
across the class. It also should not continue to be class philosophy to have multiple configurations for a spec line as it makes
managing BOP more difficult. A task that is already not simple given the diversity of platforms, tracks, and driver skill within the
series.
The Mini has proven to be a competitive platform since the inception of B-Spec as a pro category in World Challenge. However,
current BOP has resulted in it carrying a significant amount of ballast as well as being given a restrictor plate. Traditionally,
aftermarket parts such as air intakes and headers are only approved for use in B-Spec when a car clearly needs to be sped up in
order to compete (I.E. Mazda 2, second/first generation Honda Fits, Nissan Versa, etc.). However, this is a practice that the
committee wants to use sparingly in the future as we cannot guarantee the availability of aftermarket performance parts.
Additionally, allowing a power-adder such as a header for a vehicle that is required to race with a restrictor plate AND hundreds
of pounds of ballast is objectively absurd.
Data gathered over the past years shows that despite its current minimum weight, the Mini Cooper is still one of the best
handling cars in the category thanks to its independent rear suspension and other attributes. The spec line for Mini equipped
with a header currently requires a 40 mm restrictor plate. The current spec line for the OEM manifold/catalyst equipped Minis
requires a 45 or 44 mm plate depending on the model year due to minor engine differences between the two generations of R56
Mini Cooper.
It is the committee’s recommendation that the restrictor plate diameter of the OEM manifold/catalyst equipped Minis be
opened to improve their acceleration performance. It is also our recommendation that the OBX header eventually be removed
from B-Spec competition. The committee is also aware that OEM catalyst cost and availability is rapidly becoming a widespread
issue across the category. This is a topic will we be rapidly addressing for all spec lines.
The committee’s desire is to provide a ruleset and BOP for the category that is fair, cost controlled and promotes growth.
Allowing parts that are no longer available is not conducive to achieving that goal. Discussing this topic over the past year has
also prevented us from working on other pressing matters that are crucial to the category’s long term success. We are eager to
move this class towards a successful future instead of clinging to pieces of its past.

We appreciate your perspective and feedback. While the concerns regarding engine availability are well founded, this is not a can of

We appreciate your perspective and feedback. After the round of BOP changes in 2023 when weight was added to the Mini and

speed cars up that are clearly lagging in pace. It is the committee's desire to continue this trend as much as we can, as there are
clearly several cars that are lacking speed. We will continue to monitor the balance of performance (BOP) across the category at all

#38137 from Peter Zekert · No action required · Minutes (2025-06 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The BSAC chose to make this change to the 09-14 MT Honda Fit's spec line for several reasons.
B-Spec's class philosophy is largely based around commercially available parts that are installed onto vehicles without
modifications. While the wording allowing "any manufacturer" of an intake was intended to give competitors multiple options to
purchase an intake from multiple sources, some competitors chose to interpret this language a step beyond that intention and
began building/dyno testing intakes of their own design.
This type of tuning and building of parts is not within the class philosophy of B-Spec. There are numerous categories within the
club available for those who want to test/develop parts for their own vehicles, but B-Spec is not one of them. Having homemade
or "custom" parts installed on vehicles also makes managing BOP more difficult as it creates multiple configurations of the same
vehicle.
While the BSAC agrees that listing multiple intakes on the same spec line is not the cleanest solution, it was the best middle
ground we could take to walk this rule back to meet class philosophy while not forcing competitors to buy another commercially
available intake if theirs was not approved.
When the BSAC selected the three intakes that landed on the approved list, we selected part numbers that were currently
commercially available at the time of the rule change. Competitors may submit a part # for approval if they have an intake
already installed that is still commercially available that we missed in that process.

The BSAC recently received a request to permit the use of a flashable MK60 ABS unit so that the factory ABS can be
reprogramed for motorsports use. The flashable Mk60 unit this letter discusses is out of production and only used examples are
available on the secondary market. The typical cost of these units is $2,000 or more.
The only new MK60 units available have fixed programming that can't be easily modified. For example, Mazda 2 has the Mk60
ABS system, but not the 'motorsports' programable version that could be a solution for this issue. The only turnkey motorsports
ABS solution that is currently on the market is the Continental RSX system that retails at $8,000 plus programming costs.
The BSAC is soliciting member feedback on what the class would be willing to spend in order to have programable ABS in these
vehicles, with the understanding that the above prices are the range of what these systems would cost. In other words, what
dollar figure would our drivers be willing to spend in order to potentially eliminate this issue?

Thank you for using the SCCA letter log system, it greatly helps the CRB keep track of the letters received.
In regard to the recent BoP changes that were made to the cars in B-Spec, please be aware that they were the result of
considerable thought and research. Some competitors are concerned that the change to the Mini Cooper is too significant. Prior
adjustments to this car in particular did not result in the desired change; their performance along with all other B-Spec cars will
be carefully monitored and the BoP addressed accordingly as the season progresses.
A few competitors have raised concern about the Mini Cooper not being “safe” because of the increased minimum weight
and/or the ballast that may be necessary to achieve the minimum. According to our calculations this car remains within the DOT
recommended maximum weight for a Mini Cooper. For reference purposes GCR 9.1.10.E.17 gives an excellent recommendation
for attaching ballast if necessary. It is further noteworthy that within SCCA there are many cars that safely carry and compete
with this type of ballast. For example, in T3 the Nissan 350Z carries an average of 190 lbs. of ballast and the Mazda RX8 routinely
carries 100 lbs. or more in T4. Be reminded however that as per GCR 5.9.2.B. the participant bears the ultimate responsibility at
all times to ensure the safety of his vehicle and equipment. If, for any reason, you, your driver, or crew, believe that your car is
not safe then it should never be on track. Participation in SCCA events is voluntary; you should not feel compelled to participate
if any doubt exists as to the safety and wellbeing of you, your driver, or crew.
Please remember if you are submitting a letter to the system which cites a problem or change that is needed to include your
idea(s) for resolution and the data that may have been used in your assessment.
Thanks again for the letter and great luck and fun with the balance of your 2023 race season.

Thank you for your letter. The Spec MX-5 Challenge has served to develop the SMX concept—a next-generation Spec
Miata-style class for newer cars—since its introduction in 2019. The Challenge has participated in multiple Regional and
Conference Majors weekends, and even a couple of Super Tours over the last several seasons to comprise its schedule.
Several things were taken into consideration when the request was made to include the final races of the SMX-5 Challenge
season into the Runoffs event.
1. There was some time on the race weekend schedule. Barring something well out of the norm, race days can
comfortably run nine race groups per day. Each of our 25 National Championship Runoffs classes has its own race
in the schedule, meaning there was some additional time available on race days.
2. We have positioned SMX in the schedule to where it would have as minimal effect on the National Championship
classes as possible. SMX will only have one qualifying session and it is the last session of the day on Thursday, giving
a small buffer between the last Runoffs qualifying session, pole awards and the all-participant party. The second
SMX race is also last on the day on Sunday, taking a time slot that is typically not revered. SMX will handle its own
technical inspection, so it should not put any additional stress on that process.
3. Last year, we had a number of classes fail to put even 10 cars on track at the Runoffs. While not a National
Championship class, SMX’s finale projects 25-30 cars. This provides our workers, participants and spectators with
an opportunity to see some great racing.
4. As everyone knows, the cost of doing business has increased dramatically in the last couple of years. Conducting
the Runoffs at VIR is no different. Bringing in SMX as an exhibition/supplemental class to our National
Championship classes helps SCCA cover the rising costs, which have increased by 25 percent since our first visit to
VIR in 2019.

Recently there have been concerns raised regarding the Balance of Performance (BoP) amongst the various cars in B-Spec. This
class has grown significantly in the past few years bringing in many new competitors who may not be familiar with its beginning.
When Showroom Stock classes were changed to Touring the CRB determined that there was a continuing need for an entry level
class (with doors). SCCA was later approached by the motorsports manager at Mazda to see if our organization would be interested
in developing a class based on the B Segment class of production cars. SCCA reached out to other manufacturers and determined
that there was sufficient interest to proceed. The first track test was conducted thereafter and, based on those results, various
regulations were implemented specific to each model in an attempt to balance their relative performance. Later, testing
indiscretions were discovered which were deemed to have skewed the results and caused issue with the regulations derived
therefrom. Involvement of other sanctioning bodies in B-Spec caused further disruption to the regulations before those groups
ultimately jettisoned the class. Participation declined in SCCA, and B-Spec was slated for elimination until such time as devoted
racers stepped in to save the class.
As a result of the efforts put forth by these competitors the class realized a rapid rise in participation and SCCA began to utilize its
data collection program to compile information on the cars across as many tracks as possible. Given the wide diversity of eligible
cars and their designs, driving ability, car preparation/tuning levels, and other variables outside of SCCA’s control, the balance of
performance in this class has been remarkably close.
Last season the Spec Miata Advisory Committee (SMAC) employed a simulation program that utilized information gathered
through SCCA’s data boxes and supervised chassis dyno pulls to refine the BoP between SM eligible cars. The developers of that
program were asked about its usefulness in B-Spec and a presentation was made to the B-Spec Advisory Committee (BSAC) last
year. That was followed by a survey to the B-Spec community about a technology fee and its application. The vast majority of
respondents favored the implementation of such a fee and 51% supported use of the fee for software if it could be demonstrated
to improve the BoP. The simulation program will be more difficult to employ for B-Spec as compared to SM simply because of the
diversity of cars and the lack of required data for all. Over time, and as program specific data would be gathered, one would expect
the results to become infinitely more accurate. Use of such a program would most certainly eliminate the driver element from the
equation and could possibly be used in its infancy to correlate with the existing BoP program. The BSAC, however, decided not to
pursue the simulation program at that time due to various factors. Cost and the difficultly involved in collecting equal data (all the
cars are not available at the same place and time) caused them to believe that implementation of this type of analysis would
negatively impact participation and possibly disturb what the BSAC, as a group, deemed to be a satisfactory BoP.
B-Spec features different chassis, suspension, and powertrain units, all of which are subject to constant refinement and
performance creep within the rules. Maintaining a level BoP amongst these cars is a continuing effort and as such competitors in
this class must anticipate ongoing adjustments in weights, restrictors, and other areas that are available to the BSAC and CRB
manipulate performance. A new BoP is anticipated in the coming weeks and those changes will be monitored and refined as
necessary. The BSAC and CRB appreciate your continued support, and passion for B-Spec and SCCA Road Racing.

#32598 from Steve Introne · No action required · Minutes (2022-07 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The SCCA Club Racing Rule Making Process is documented on the SCCA web site under Road Racing
Rules; this is not a purely democratic process as you suggest. The Advisory Committees are a key element in the process. In the
course of their work, they are often privy to intellectual property which requires confidentiality. The publishing of committee
voting could easily lead to pressure being brought to bear on individual committee members putting them in position where
they could not explain their vote without breaking confidences. As you can imagine It is nearly impossible to staff an unpaid
volunteer committee for a class without people who are deeply invested in that class and who, if lacking integrity, could attempt
to benefit from their position of responsibility. The CRB, Board of Directors, and SCCA National Staff are cognizant of this “issue”
and monitor BoP and Rule changes accordingly. We are aware it is not a perfect system. Your vigilance and that of all other
interested members is appreciated and needed on a case-by-case basis. The governance of individual SCCA Regions and their
voting process varies by Region and is not controlled by SCCA. Your concern is noted and appreciated.

Thank you for your letter. The current ruleset allowing modified Bilstein B14 kits in addition to the stock suspension AND factory
specified kits are sufficient. Additional nonadjustable shock and strut options would be considered on a case-by-case basis ONLY
IF the current options are demonstrated to be non-usable due to availability or function.
#32415 from Jonathan Wickert · Recommended to the Board · Minutes (2022-07 Fastrack)
In B-Spec Category Specifications, GCR Section 9.1.10.E.36., change as follows:
"Suspension: competitors may use the OEM suspension, any part of the manufacturer upgraded suspension kit the specific
suspension kit approved on the spec line or any B14 Bilstein shock or strut with no modifications except as required for
mounting or to achieve allowed camber. Any camber plate may be used, but may not alter caster. Caster shall be within factory
specification. Any part required to adapt the B14’s to the car must be submitted for approval by the CRB and added to the
individual spec line. Any spring, including 'helper' or 'tender' springs, up to a maximum spring rate of 500 pounds may be used.
Spring are allowed to be strapped or zip tied to the body. The purpose of the strap should be to keep the spring in place when
the axle goes into rebound. The strap can serve no other function. Bump stops may be deleted but cannot be modified or
substituted and shall serve no other purpose. Adjustable sway bar end links may be used on all cars. Front s Sway bars may be
disconnected and removed."
#32255 from Garret Bowser · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-07 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The B-Spec community supported a change to a spec tire which, by means of a contract negotiated
between the tire supplier and SCCA, has resulted in decreased costs for all B-Spec competitors. As a result, SCCA and all B-Spec
competitors must adhere to the spec tire rule and only utilize the approved Hankook tire. Permitting non-compliant cars to
compete ignores the GCR and sets a poor precedent for future agreements with spec component suppliers.

Thank you for your letter. Eliminating catalytic convertors will not have an impact on some models, and will speed other models
up thus substantially changing the BOP.
#32321 from Club Racing Board · Member advisory · Minutes (2022-03 Fastrack)
All Mini's were required to run a restrictor when the BOP change was made 2 years ago. The BSAC reluctantly allowed the 07-10
Mini's which did not utilize the header to run without a restrictor. The BSAC was advised that these cars would be "completely
uncompetitive" without the header. Shortly after this change was implemented the ECU was hacked which permitted improved
tuning. Current evidence suggests that a non-header car with no restrictor would still have an advantage over a header car with
a 40mm restrictor. Past experience suggests that header availability is a temporary issue. Also, favorable changes take effect
sooner than unfavorable ones allowing competitors time to acquire a header (if that is their choice) in advance of the rule taking
effect.

Thank you for your letter and supplying data. The committee discussed this spec line and we are waiting for
performance data on this car to take further action. The dyno data provided is the same as the data we used for the
BOP. It is from an "untuned" engine with the stock redline. We were under the impression for years that the Mini was
not able to be tuned and then "surprised" when a tune impacted the BOP. After we get some data from the
performance of the car changes will be considered. Evidence of what the now available tune does (or doesn't do) to the
engine would also be helpful.
#30586 from B-Spec Committee · Not recommended · Minutes (2021-06 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. The intent of the class is to have as little variation and development as necessary on each spec
line. The committee debated and picked the Bilstein kit as the generic option and since it is still widely available we see
no need to add the KW as an alternative at this time.
#30408 from Richard Root · Taken care of · Minutes (2021-06 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. We are increasing the tolerance on the restrictors in our class specific rule. The intention of
this specific rule is to limit the development on restrictors in our class where even 1 hp is so important also, some
vehicles in our class could not handle a larger restrictor AND the required spacer due to packaging under hood. Letter
30474 in current Fastrack changes the restrictor thickness.
#30381 from B-Spec Committee · Not recommended · Minutes (2021-06 Fastrack)
