So we decided we're going to do a SCCA autocross on April 30 with Huey. Should be interesting since we're classed in XP class, which I gather is kind of an 'anything goes' class. Never done an autocross with these guys - only with PCA.
What's been funny over the past couple years as we've done some things with SCCA is to see how different they are than PCA...to the point that I feel like a rookie with everything because I ask a million questions: how to register, what info is needed, schedules, licensing (for TT and racing), etc. What I'm learning is SCCA is so big, its become exceptionally complicated for the newbie... Most things are subtle difference, but classifications are the hardest. Huey (and Papa Smurf) run in GT2 class for Time Trials and Club Racing (I'm hoping to do my first SCCA Club Race in May with Papa Smurf), but I was told XP for autocross (and Ladies - L - catch-all class for Nadine) So...XP and L it is. I'll post how we do after the event. Should be interesting... |

the problem with our car is its a 3.2 engine, non-stock brakes and wider fenders...but basically it's the engine that does it.
I run Hoosier A7's. My competition is a Suby STI, RX8, 240SX and a couple VW GTI's. No clue the modifications they've got.. I was told it's a fun competitive class here, but they agreed that nationally I wouldn't be competitive... |

The motor in that white FP car must have cost a bomb, being 280HP. You ought to beat all those other cars autoxing, but built well driven Subi's are hard to beat on hill climbs. Have you thought about trying Avon's for Autoxing? |
