:armee_smilies090: hey guys, i joined the scca with the free membership thing that came with my car. i've never done auto cross but i'm going to try and hit up the event on the 6th in oakland, but i have some questions

what does "run with their open classes but are scored separately" (for novice class) mean?

what class dose my car run in? mods are:
springs
rear sway w. endlinks

catted down
catback
17x8 wheels with 235/40/17 tires

i'm thinking street touring U right?

Hey, I can't answer you question, but there's an autox this weekend in SF in monster park, sunday, sunday sunday sunday...be there be there...

I think you would be in STU.

I thikn you've read this before, if not here you go..

and

http://www.scca.org/_filelibrary/Fil...solo_rules.pdf

I'm sure some of the veterans will chim in..

Go to the one this sunday! I htikn I'll be going to it, my first scca event..hopefully.

 

lol, NOOBS FOR THE WIN!!!! me and you can show people hows it done on SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!!! haha, but maybe i'll hit it up as well if i find out what i need to know

 

what car is it? 05 WRX? 2.0 right?
2.0 will be in STX.

 

yea, but my tires push me into stu.... yeah? haha thats what i'm confused about

 

nope, for stx, you could use up to 245mm wide street tires. what kinda tires are those?

 

"Street Touring - X

Same limitations as Street Touring - S, but generally allows cars up to 5 liters or 2 liters turbo- or supercharged, with Limited Slip Differential, and certain other extensions.


Street Touring - U

Same limitations as Street Touring - X, but generally allows cars of unlimited displacement , or up to 3.1 liters turbo- or supercharged, with unrestricted wheel width, tire width up to 275 (RWD) or 245 (AWD), ." STS says wheels max is Xx7.5rims with 225 tires max... or is there some loop hole? but yea, they are fuzion zi-r or somethin.....

 

Let say you're on STX (novice class), you will run with the STX cars but since you're a novice, you will be scored separately. Like all Street Modified cars and Street Modified novice will run at the same time...but obviously, the novice will have a different score than the regulars.

 

Just did a screen capture from the rule book. Here is a direct link to the 2007 solo rule book, http://www.scca.org/_FileLibrary/File/2007SoloRules.pdf. STX is page 81.

 

^^ohhhhhhhh, i thought it ment that i could just run in any group and just get points in my class.... lol, k gottcha! thanx

 

humm... the site says other from the hand book.... but okay! cool, thanx. i'll go in as stx and if they give me trouble i'll just do stu....

 

I htink for first time we don't have to worry about points, i would just compare my time and PAX with other drivers and see where I stand. Are you going to be competitive and try to win a trophy? I was thikning about doing that in AStock but it's still $$ to compete with top set up's (even though it's "stock" class)

 

lol, i'm just kidding about winning... these few times any who, i think its too far in to get enough points to win anything.... championships is next weekend in oakland, lol. right now i just wanna see the car and i can do and how i stack up to other people.

but yea, what to bring and when to be there is the question.... har!

 

as long as you are at stock boost levels you'd be in stx. 06 and up wrx's are in stu due to their larger displacement engines. Come out Sunday should be a great day!

 

so that means i gotta be there by noonish with 35 bucks?
