We are excited to announce adaptation of zone 7 rules for the 2024 season. Our club has used the points-based system developed by GGR for more than fifteen years and is considered a benchmark of the car classification system. Over time, this system has become obsolete due to the software platform it resided on. For the last four years, we have been using the Zone 8 car classification system that our friends down south have been kind enough to let us use. Most of you have also experienced the car classification system developed by Zone 7. This system has been thoughtfully developed to address the concerns identified with the parade rules-based system. It has been used by all our sister regions for the last few years. After weighing the benefits and weaknesses of both systems, the planning committee has decided to adopt the Zone 7 car classification system for the 2024 season. Thanks to the eighty participants that registered their votes in the survey sent out last week. Your votes went a long way towards reaching this decision. Here is a snapshot of the survey results.
