Auto-X: SFR Round 1 - Oakland - 02-03-08

[Impala SS AutoX]

Sorta close...

Simplifying things, a 2.5RS, stock, goes into GS or STS.

In GS, you can do struts (with STOCK springs...ONLY the dampers can change), R-compounds (on STOCK dimension wheels for that year, meaning 16x7 with stock offset), and a front swaybar.

In STS, you have to be on "street" tires (140 or higher treadwear) but can do 225 width tires on up to 7.5" wide wheels, coilovers, F/R swaybars, exhaust (with a STOCK cat in STOCK location), intake, ECU, and some other odds n ends. Keys are the brakes must be stock dimension (i.e. drilled stock-sized rotors with stock calipers OK, WRX or STI brake swap isn't) and you CAN'T put in a limited slip diff.

What mods, exactly and in totality, have you done on your car? Given that, I can class it...

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SUNDAY!!!

Due to a Saturday event at the Coliseum, our "normal" entrance (off of 66th St at the north end of the complex) WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE!!!

Instead, you should enter on the southwest side of the property at Gate G. This is on the "frontage" road of northbound 880, at the C and G lots, just north of Hegenberger. From either 880 north or south bound, you'll wanna exit at Hegenberger and head to the east side of the freeway, then take the immediate turn onto the frontage rd.

On the upside, you won't have to drive over eleventy-billion speedbumps to get to the lot we are running in this time (Lot B, our normal lot)

what time does the first run group run? is getting there around 9 early enough?

[Impala SS AutoX]

First car out around 9AM. If you are running in first rungroup, you need to get there no later than 7:30 or so to have time to prep the car, register, walk the course, get the car teched, and get ready to run.

salvator you'll be in SM actually.....no motor swaps in STU. You can run the T2 class which is SM and SP but on street tires. Or you can run SM novice which also requires street tires. SM-N will run with regular SM.

Really looking forward to Sunday. Hope to see everyone there.

Show up on site and register. Well, hope that there will be guest spots available. You'll need to purchase a temporary weekend membership though.

Sounds good. Just learning my stuff. Some tips on set-up would be helpful too.
