I'd like to race my streetable 914 when I am done building it. I'd also like to be competitive, and decisions that I make now will affect my classification later.
What classes should I be building for? Where is the 914 most competitive? I don't have an engine yet, so anything goes. Looks like these are all of the possibilities for SCCA Solo: CS STS2 DSP SM2 XP DP DM EM CS is not going to happen. Obviously, DM and EM will not be realistic for a streetable car. I'd like to road race as well as AX, but AX is more of a priority for the time being. Actually, I'd like to build a dedicated track car in the future if things work out... |

Thanks guys... good info. I asked before I started because I realize that one decision in prep could inadvertently bump me to a different class, so I need to know which class I intend to build for.

Thanks guys... good info. I asked before I started because I realize that one decision in prep could inadvertently bump me to a different class, so I need to know which class I intend to build for. Smart thinking. I always try to tell people to READ THE RULES at least three or four times when considering building a car for competition. Especially when it involves a street car. Sometimes a seemingly innocuous modification can bump a car into a class with trailer-riding-fire-breathing-monsters. Since you have been talking about SCCA autox classes, I will say this right up front. If the rules don't specifically say you CAN, then you CAN'T. That is how they are written. This doesn't mean that it's all you can do, but once you get past the things that are easy bolt-on, you have to interpret the rules carefully. Whenever I encounter a novel interpretation (or come up with one myself), I try to figure out how I can protest it. If I can't come up with a good protest justification for it, or if I feel I can justifiably defend a protest against it, I'll consider doing it. -Josh2 |
