I'm just really curious because I cant afford to compete in this class, but how many of you know what are the kings of SM and SM2?

I know we have a pretty good list of the stock classes, but i havent seen anything for higher yet, and I know a lot of the evos, the monster frankenstein mr2's and other stuff are duking it out in SM2..

 

Before Neal and Katie moved back to Minnesota, they were pretty well the top car (locally) in SM. 77 VW Sirocco w/ a supercharged engine. 1700lbs or so.

 

almost anything within the rules that barely meets the minimum weight requirement will be the car to have. the rest doesn't really matter.

 

the cars that are currently winning, but are not neccaserily the best cars for the class are:

SM: E36 M3, EVO
SM2: C5 Vette, FD RX7, Miata

 

what does Jim's MR2 have done to it that moves it from SM2 to DM?

 

No airbag in the stock steering wheel AFAIK.

 

It's completely SM2 legal. Removing of the airbag is allowed in SP, and SM takes on all the SP allowances plus the SM ones.

 

so why did he run DM a couple times? i thought DM was for formula type cars.

 

He bought the car as a salvage stripped of most of the interior as well as the top and body panels. In order to run SM2, he had to have the top and all body panels which he had not managed to source and get put onto the car by that point.
