How about a racing class for inexpensive, common cars that can be found at or near the bottom of their depreciation curves? That’s the idea behind C-Spec, a road racing class being bandied about online.

These seem less likely to end up on their roof than B-Spec cars.
In reply to Peabody :
Kinda like mini stock. Almost like B Spec +.
I'm waiting for CUV-spec. Bring on the lowered HRVs, CX-30's, and Rav4s!
I still think this would have been a great series 10 years ago when all the 90s E36 M3boxes were readily available. Pretty much every manufacturer made a ~2400lb, 130ish hp mcStrut car (excluding Honda). And I think all but Dodge were 4x100

That would be cool. But finding those cars with manual boxes would be tough. Or do we not care?

Well, we did have Showroom Stock B and C back then. Anyone else remember trunk kits?

You are thinking of when those cars were new. Yeah, I dont want to pay $16k + prep costs to go race a stock Saturn lol.
I'm saying when they were nearly fully depreciated yet still readily available... would've been a fun field.
I'd build a first gen Forte.
it's really impressive what Frank Schwartz has done with B-Spec over the last few years. He's basically given the class a second life (or maybe even a first life) and fields are bigger now than they've ever been previously. So I dig the idea of expanding the concept to additional crapboxes. I think the biggest difficulty here is going to be finding enough manual-transmissioned cars to fill fields. Of that list, I see four cars—Jetta, Civic, Cruze and Mazda 3—that are probably th emost likely candidates for finding manual versions of. The rest could be rare and precious.
