SCCA Classifications, Anyone an expert on it here??? Options

Hey guys,
I need to figure out what class Huey really should be in. We've been running GT2 for the hillclimbs, but there's no way he should be in GT2.

Believe it or not, other than safety (cage, seats, harness) and minor tweaks, the car is fairly stock. The biggie is the 3.2 engine and steel GT fender flares.

- It's got bigger front torsion bars and rear springs, but those are usually fairly free.
- Brakes are bigger
- Trans is stock
- bumpers are FG, but the rest of the body panels are steel or stock - including roof.

its fully street legal and registered. I just can't see how it's GT2 (other than I guess the engine)...which is the same class as a Porsche Cup Car!! seriously... a sequential gearbox 997 cup from the factory is the same class as a street legal and registered 914???

thoughts or advice? What would it be in SOLO, or Time Trial? Or Club racing?? The hill climbs accept classes from most of the above...

Thanks

I really don't know the current scca rules
but I well know the 1967, 1972, and 1981 scca production rules
the stock motor was a 2.0/6
so anything above 2.0 is probably going to put you into a wild class

whether that big motor is a stock big motor or a fire breathing twin plug...
that is the preference of you... but since its still not a 2.0 its probably going to fall in a BIG, special, and not stock class according to old scca rules.

back when I used to run pca club racing rules, I had a cam in my street 2.0/4
it bumped me into GT classes.... just the cam
because the stock classes didn't allow a cam
and the GT classes did
(even though I had a stock 2.0 with a cam and all of 105hp)

same thing with displacement for PCA
it is either a stock displacement or a GT class car

I know PCA has more loop holes now with their displacement rules
not sure if modern SCCA does or not.

I actually like vintage rules for just this reason
keep the displacement stock and then (my club at least) do what you want with compression and cams within that stock displacement. Of course I enjoy high rpm small motors even though they have less torque. and most vintage clubs allow just that... modified stock displacement motors.
