I just need wider wheels and more meat all around and I would smoke him. But I need to save up alittle more. Def next year I'm going to have new wheels.

In your journal you mentioned SPL rear camber arms. SCCA would have you in SSM.

And that's why I don't like SCCA autocross classing.

I would be running an 18x12 front 18x13 rear if I were campaigning an ASP 370....

:icon18:

I would love that but... I would need to save up more because a decent set would have to be custom and that's short for metric *** ton of cash for a 20 day season hobby. I have been searching hard for a quality cheap set but my race car fund is pretty low since I got all the new stuff.

As for the toe arm... No comment because this is a STR thread not a scca rule book thread.

I don't stand a chance. Looked last night and I think I'm in street modified?? I'll be destroyed.

Worse...370z isn't legal for SM. You would be in SSM. Welcome to land of 2500lb, fire spitting, 500whp 2/3 rotor turbo RX7's.

I have reviewed a bunch of entry lists from years past and notice that at least around these parts, SSM seems pretty limited in number of cars. Not that it matters I guess, last place is last place whether you are a 3rd in class or 26th in class LOL

Awe what did I miss that throws me out?

What parts are on your car? I was just saying that the 370 isn't legal for SM.

:iagree:

That's why, IMHO, the way that NASA does classing is better. Each mod equals a certain point value. Add those together and you determine the class you'd be in.

The current (or anything close to it) NASA points system just does not work for autocross, unfortunately.

Last year when i ran with SCCA NER there was this 240sx s15 full built ssm car. the car was FTD by a few secs. I gues one of the co drivers won nationals in 2013. I will see if i can find a pic of the car but it was insanly fast and had lots of BOOST!

03threefiftyz 04-24-2014 07:59 AM

The Panda.....and it's an SM car (has rear seats). Dave White won twice in that car. It is retired for Panda V3 that is being built now.

I think its time to start a new thread on SCCA classing for discussion and gripes/ complaining. I emailed SCCA comp manager on my delema so hopefully i will get an in depth interpretation on the toe arm as i dont want to affend/discredit anyone or myself.

i will make one when i get home from work.

03threefiftyz 04-24-2014 11:52 AM

The SPL buckets and toe arms are absolutely not legal unitl you get to SSM in their OTS form.
