hmmm? I should look up ST2.....

Loren

STS2 rules are the same as STS except for the basic eligibility requirement. STS2 is for 2-seater cars with something like under 1.9 liters displacement.

I was already illegal for STS2 before with my intake and LSD. With my new aluminum flywheel and non-stock clutch, I think I'm too far gone. I wouldn't feel right running in the class. (even if I did beat nunyo)

SRDragon

Ah so I guess that makes my M2, a STX.

LSD
Cold Air box for my Monsterflow intake
that's all I can think of.


My wheels are under 7.5 but what about my VictoRacers? I don't understand all that lingo BTW.

Loren

Welcome to the wonderful world of SCCA Solo II classing. Try to keep up...

Stock Class... you could compete there with your Victos were it not for your Monsterflow intake... and your retrofitted Sport Suspension (unless that was a factory option on your car)

Street Prepared (CSP for you)... you could run there just fine, though without much improved suspension and even wider tires, you won't be truly competitive. It's still your best bet.

Street Touring... STS and STX do not allow two-seater cars. STS2 was made for 2-seaters, but they don't allow a Torsen. Were it not for the silly rule, you could run there... but not with your Victos. Street Tires only in ST.

There area also "Prepared" and "Modified" classes, but we don't need to go there right now.

SRDragon

OK is it me or do you guys see huge holes in these classes?

Loren

It's not just you. That's just the way it is. Consider what it was like before the creation of the ST class set. NOBODY could compete in any class without investing in autocross tires. When you get into serious competition, you have to have firm rules, and people will build/modify to those rules.

Casual folks like us like to do what we want to do to our car... and that's great. But don't expect to find an SCCA class that matches the things that you've chosen to do to your car.

If you truly want to compete, you need to study the rules and pick your class BEFORE you start modifying (or even before you purchase) a car to compete in.

Yeah! Come play in CSP Paul. You'll get a chance to see me be serious!

I'll probably cone every run

By the way - once this event is over, I've decided to bring my worn out old Hoosiers to Sunriders. YeeHaa!

nunyo

Looks like I won't be unopposed. Jason Ball will codrive, and Trey Christie will be down from Tallahasse in his '94 Miata.

I don't know him, is he fast? Am I in trouble?

If all the parts arrive in time, I should be in good shape. On the way are two new Azenis (to complete the set), Konis with Ground Control springs, a K&N drop in fileter, a 1 1/8" front swaybar and a rear subframe brace.

The rest of this week is dedicated to obliterating the Azenis that Mofugga gave me. They are a hoot for drifting, but are basically useless for anything else. The runway clearing club might think that I have abnormal amounts of power for a Miata, but the joke is on them, I just have some moldy old tires out back.

Leonard

I'm running ST2 cuz Mofugga said I could. Who cares if I have nearly 3x the displacement that the class allows. And old tired victoracers.

mofugga

nunyo, you're in trouble & you should be worried
