It's pretty obvious CAM was imagined to get resto-mods, pro-touring and TT guys to autox, but it didn't work, nobody cares, lol. I agree the issue is limited seat time, you have to work, and the time commitment for that 3 min of driving is overall a hard sell for many. Oh well. Now that we know nobody is interested in spending 6-figures to build an autox car, maybe SCCA can just give up on the idea and make CAM into an ST class. Right now it fits nobody. A full-on CAM car as Matt describes probably needs a ~.9 PAX and hardly-modded Camaros and Mustangs that actually show up are getting f'ed at .827. Who are they trying to make happy here?
On topic, the aero rules are supposed to allow the TT cars than never attend a place in CAM, but what a load of BS that is. If one decides to show up XA or XB or whatever would be just fine.
On the aero rules that allow a wing that makes for unbalanced front to rear downforce, I do question that a bit because despite the fact that is true, I won't argue that fact... maybe it's suitable for autox where it wouldn't be for track? Whatever you can do to get more rear grip to allow more throttle is going to make the car faster, that's basically what it comes down to, the fastest runs are always going to be the runs with more throttle if everything else is equal. If wings allow for more throttle, they may work well despite being technically unbalanced?
