We did draft a table to merge the classes and came up with only one class that defied reclassification. The reality is that this mapping process occurs now as points are accumulated for both CACC and ICSCC races towards the club group championships. It can be done and the proposal does say it will be done on a best efforts basis.
We understand there is some overlap with CACC awards but SCCBC is a more complete representation of the season's competition, and, consequently, can and will produce some different class champions from the CACC. We also strongly felt there could be more recognition for drivers, particularly the club class champions, at the SCCBC banquet. The banquet is a big event and it's a bit anti-climatic for all the drivers that worked hard to win their club class. The consensus was that they deserved the recognition in front of their peers from the club, and the banquet is the best venue for that. I'm sure we'd sell more banquet tickets, too.
Thanks for your feedback, David.

How do you propose to reconcile the class differences between CACC and ICSCC? Some classes exist in both rule sets (FF, FV, GT, PRO3, SM) and some don't (IP, Production).
I don't think the SCCBC should be awarding class championships, especially when you consider many of the winners will be the same competitors who win the CACC class championships.
