It's deliberately not difficult -- per FAST - Autocross :
We have eight classes, loosely categorized by displacement, modifications, and tires. Clarifications are listed below the classes.
  • A - Modified race tire (all)
  • B - Production race tire 3 liters and greater
  • C - Production race tire less than 3 liters
  • D - Modified street tire 3 liters and greater
  • E - Modified street tire less than 3 liters
  • F - Production street tire 3 liters and greater
  • G - Production street tire less than 3 liters
  • R - Open or closed wheel race cars (all)
Modified cars are production-based cars with any of the following modifications:
  • Any internal engine modification (crank, cams, rods, pistons)
  • Any external engine modification that alters fuel delivery (alternate carb, altered fuel injection, fuel-air ratio adjusters)
  • Any non-factory engine replacement
  • Welded chassis reinforcement, including welded roll bars/cages
  • Alternate or altered springs
  • Altered suspension geometry (relocated pickup points, alternate suspension parts to increase factory alignment adjustment range such as camber kits, camber plates, or slotted strut mounts)
  • Alternate main body panels (doors, hood, trunk lid, fenders, roof panel, windows)
  • Removal of factory interior parts (seats, interior panels)
Other classing notes:
  • Any and all modifications not listed are allowed in the production classes.
  • Street tires are DOT approved tires with treadwear rating of 140 or above.
  • Forced induction (turbo or supercharger) bumps engine displacement by a factor of 1.5. (e.g. a 2.2 liter turbocharged engine would be classed as 3.1 liter)
  • Any non-production based vehicle (such as kit cars or tube-framed "look-alikes") will be classed as a "Race Car" unless deemed an appropriate fit for a lesser class.

If you need to change your class, just go back to the entry list on MAE and edit your entry.
