Hello folks,
John here, I am considering turning my street car into a temporary autocross star. I attended an autocross last weekend that seemed to me to be a bit laughable. It was a southern indiana SCCA event. I walked the course with my wife when most cars should have been going through tech. I went because my buddy wanted to do something with a Mustang that he recently acquired. After the first few runs started, I was wishing that I had ponied up the $40 to join in the fun. Regardless, I would not know how or what class my car would fall into. Mine is built as a 1970 914-6 with a 3.2 engine, 7" wide wheels, stiff springs, sway bar in front, and SC brakes. Looking through the SCCA rules, I can't determine what class I should say that I am in. I really don't care that much as I would rather drive than watch, but I mainly do PCA DE events (30+ years exp). Any advise is helpful. I was considering telling them it is stock or super stock modified (SSM), but my engine seems to over do it. Perhaps I should say it is a 2.0 - 6. |

After talking to some folks around here, it really doesn't matter what class I tell them unless I want to really be in some points running deal.
I really don't think it will go anywhere, especially since it is and will remain a street car. I already have a race car for DE events (which is really what I prefer), but on occasion, I will go play with the SCCA guys in my street toy. The local PCA in Southern Indiana doesn't do much of anything (which is why I am a member of KYPCA, but I'm a bit too far from them to want to do any 1-day autocross events with them.) track car street car |
