When the Solo Events Board asked for member comment on the Street Touring rules change proposals in February’s Fastrack, it did not take very long for the forums to start humming. Pretty soon phrases like “done deal,” “class killer” and “for sale” were flying around the web. To help us get away from the rumor and speculation, SEB Chairman, Steve Hudson has agreed to shed some light on the potential problems and challenges presented by the current Street Touring rule set.
I’ve been asked to comment on the “whys” behind the Street Touring rules proposal published in the February FasTrack. Street Touring is a growing and popular category, but the SEB is looking to the future. Our primary focus when making decisions is always the core values listed on page 16 of the Solo rules:
- Increased participation and involvement
- Providing a variety of classes to satisfy a range of economies and commitments.
- Evolving rules in a planned manner.
