What class?

[coheed]

I was wondering what class everyone runs in SCCA and what mods you have. I ask cause I want to get into SCCA racing and whoop my friends in thier Hondas.

I run autox in STS with exhaust strut bar and intake, im really outclassed with my stock Potenzas tho : (

[BLAZINBLUEVITZ]

so the stock potenzas suck for autox huh. guess i'll see how bad next month....

[Lazerdot]

I run ST which is about the same as STS, but in the Equipe Rapide group STS is 2 seats.

AFE Cold Air Intake
TRD Struts and Springs
TRD Rear Sway bar
TRD SS
TRD Exhaust
Just got my NST UD pulley
Konig 17/17.5
Kumo Exta MX 215/40

Still a bit of push in turns, need stickier tires to real well. Real fun anyway!!!

Great question. I'm looking to start autocrossing myself this year. Which class would I run? Please refer to mods below.

[HTM Yaris]

The stock Bridgestones are not terrible , they just don't last long .

Here are the rules

http://cms.scca.com/documents/Solo_R...Solo_Rules.pdf

and just look for your region

Word to the wise , its better to learn on cheap tires . That way when you actually get sticky tires you will see huge improvements after you learn the handling characteristics of your car . Also I highly recommend a second set of wheel/tires just for autox only . You could probably do double duty (Full season autox and street driving) for a year on stock tires , but you will need new tires next year .

the TB is the only mod that may move you out of STS.

Bump, so did you ever go racing? And BTW, unless your friends drive like doodoo, hondas can't be easily beat by a yaris.

I'll be running in STS with the Yaris later this year hopefully. :)

In my region there are only 2 cars in FSP. An accord and an old bmw 318i.

sounds like they don't.


OP,
lots of local clubs have variations on the SCCA classing based on the turnout.

example: shit tons of Turbo Civics on street tires show up they may enforce a SMS (street tire Street Modified) so the poor civics aren't up against the turbo AWD 285 tire equipped S4s.

Tamago and russthepirate,

Per new scca solo classing rules, those are the correct new classes in my region as well. All previous STS classed cars are now ST class. All SM2 classed cars are now SSM i think? Anyway, you guys ordering new magnets may want to check the rules, as they have changed this year.
This was done so that scca could eliminate #'s from all classes, eg sts2, sm2, etc.

Same in my region, except we have a new STM class as well, basically SM on street tires. This is where I run, our largest and most diverse group.

Not many people in D- E- or FSP in my area lately, though CSP is still popular with the Miata drivers.

DSP is a gigantic class here, maybe 12 or so at any given event. FSP has 2 cars, and ESP is a wrx with 285's and 2-3 camaros, and a few mustangs or cobras. CSP is a popular class here w/ miatas as well.

that's true, I forgot about the strange changes. :)

You guys know what i think is funny? We have about 95-130 participants at any given event, but nobody bothers to run in say STM for street modified. I'm thinking they can't be competetive with street tires, and everyone else has R-comps? It's just something i see in other regions, but nobody has decided to start up street tire classes in r-comp legal classes. Hmmm, just a thought.

[Russelt3hPirate]

ARRGH-Comps!!
