All good points Scott, but there's one thing that makes me disagree with much of it. It's the fact that the TT classes aren't supposed to be the primary classing system for Track Trials- SCCA Road Race classes are. So anyone dumping cubic dollars into a car should be doing it with a Road Race series in mind, not a Time Trials class. It seems to me TT classes exist as a way to get Solo 2 cars and drivers out to the track Trials to get involved in that stuff too. Since everyone's bringing a Solo 2 car out to play in a non-Solo 2 sandbox, I think it makes sense to bring the silly and arcane Solo 2 rules with them.
There's also a glaring omission from the TT classes- minimum weights. It seems that if you wish to win your TT class, you can't have a car that weighs more than 2000 pounds or so, regardless of what it's powered by. So yeah, I suppose I could build a TT-3 competitive Miata, but there's no chance of building a winning TT-3 WRX or TT-4 RS.
