clayton1, yes a few of us have gutted out our cars (i've even run with seats for the morning and then without seats in the afternoon for an event with CDC, which doesn't class cars). i'm a cruddy driver so it made a minimal difference BUT i can warn you with scca it'll put you right into street modified. If you're pretty much stock and have to run in sm it can hurt the ego.

 

thanks for the info. I am not stock but I would still get killed in SM. I don't really care about classes that much. I am never around anywhere for a full season so points and what not don't really affect me. I was just more curious than anything. No one really seems to know what class my tC falls under anyways, so I will just run FSP until someone complains.

 

i usually register as "unknown" and let them figure it out.
also ladies, dont forget, we can get rated seperately

 

That depends on where you are. In our group women and men are all rated the same.

 

Im probably going to try going out this month. I took my carbon Fiber hood off cause I knew that would put me in a different class. But will my carbon fiber lip put me in the same situation?

 

naw lip is just a addon, if anything its added more weight compared to stock

 

Yea, but its not really worth my time to take it off for the few pounds it would save. Also does anyone know which class would I be in with a Stage 1 turbo, axle back exhaust, springs and Strut Bar? It looks like I'd be in street modified anyway in which case I might as well put the hood back on correct?

 

oo yea ud def be in SM. im in SM with my supercharge so out anything on that can help and strip your car.

 

Your allowed to strip the Interior for SM? Wouldn't that make it Prepared?
I appreciate your help. I stopped by the race last month but didn't have time to stick around and learn as much as I would've liked.
I'm not really hoping to win anyway so I'm not worried about being in a class that I can't really compete with, just getting out there and having some fun.

 

I feel that though it'd be great to hang onto your class to be competitive, you should do what YOU want to do to your car and let the chips fall where they may. Unless you're one of the few folks out there that earns a living by being the best in their class.

Forget about the classes. Go have fun!

And I'm in no way trying to offend those that do adhere to their class restrictions because if that's what they want to do to their car, then kudos! It's just my opinion on the matter.

 

if i remember correctly street mod for scca is essentially an "anything goes" class.

ah yes, ladies class is depending on where you are and the specific club

 

more pics of me at the track







don't mind the goofy white helmet haha. I just bought a new full face one.

 

Love the BBK. Looks like you're having way too much fun :D

 

I guess that I do have a pretty serious face haha. I have an autocross this weekend and a track day on the 4th. I can't wait.

 

Schweet pics man!



Today I saw the guy in charge of the videos for the autox's I've been, and I told him to give me some raw footage for the past autox... I just finished editing a little, here it is.

Wow, with a face like that I wouldn't want to be in front of you!

Cracker, that's a pretty interesting course. So that was an autocross event? It obviously did not look like it was in a parking lot, but did not seem like and all out road course either.

 

He was on a driver training course I think. The link I posted above is a similar setup. It is a course used to train police and truck drivers, so there are multiple patshs around it. For autox, they pick a track around it and then fill that with slaloms, offsets, etc to give it the autox feel.

 

Yea, I figured it was something like that. I didn't know they put slaloms, and the such, on the course as well though. Interesting...

 

alright yall. I am going autoxing tomorrow I think that I should have some videos up for yall tomorrow night. This will be my first time autoxing on my new bridgestones . I already had a track day on them and they were amazing. I can't wait to use them for killing cones haha. wish me luck

 

good luck and have fun!

I still need to buff some pretty harsh cone rash off the bottom of my bumper from last time Took three cones out that were next to each other :D
