SCCA Auto-X Rules: Read This First, Then Ask Questions

[aMaff]

Couple more weeks, bummer! We've already had two events!

Definitely check out SMF. Get a local thing going and have fun with it.

Heh, same here. 3rd event is in 2 weeks again (we've got a bunch of events spaced at 2 weeks apart this year, not sure why).

And yes, SMF would be the place to play for an F/I MP3

I'll be moving that direction as the season progresses. First megasquirt. Eventually KLZE and wide, overpriced sticky rubber.

I did my first autox today and I have a completely stock 2003 Mazda Protege with a MP3 ECU. After reading over the first post, with the ECU I should be in the ST class but they said it was FSP. What do you guys think?

 

[aMaff]

That's allowed in STS. And if it's got an MP3 ECU, it's not totally stock

Thanks for the quick reply.

Don't you mean ST?

 

[aMaff]

Yes. My brain still hasn't gotten past the STS=ST and STS2 = STS LOL

What class would a stock Pontiac G6 GTP be in? Looked in the rules and it's not listed.

 

[aMaff]

Probably GS. There's a chance it hasn't been classed yet, but there usually are "catch all" instances (like the line that's something to the effect of "All V6 Trucks not otherwise classified" in FS)

G-Stock

General Motors
All FWD models with 6-cyl
(all), Quad 4, Ecotec, or 4
cyl. turbo engines, NOC

or

H-Stock

General Motors
All FWD models, NOC
All RWD V6 models, NOC

Pick your class based upon your motor.

I have a Protege that I run in ST and would like to stay there. I need new motor mounts and was wondering if that would affect my class. I see that you can have engine mounts but not transmission mount in ST and in Street Prepared it says Trans mount. Would the mount on the driver's side be considered a trans or engine?

 

[Ty07allstar]

Nevermind, I just looked at the 2011 rule book and I answered my own question.

 

[Ty07allstar]

I have a 2003 Protege ES and am trying to stay in the ST class. I just want to confirm that I can put the Mazda6 front brakes on my car and not get bumped up a class. I've looked and am pretty sure that I can but I just want to make sure.

 

[aMaff]

Yep, you can go bigger, just so long as you don't go lighter. Has to weigh the same or more than stock.

 

[moxnix]

The bigger/weight is just a proposal right now. Currently brakes are only legal in STX/STU. Read 14.6.E.

 

[aMaff]

damn, don't mind me then.

 

[Ty07allstar]

Thanks. Guess I can save my money and just rebuild the front calipers.

 

[2156cc]

question about LSD rules. My protege did not come with one but if a put in a oem msp lsd then can I still race in a stock class? Don't want to cheat. Thanks.

 

[aMaff]

no

 

[2156cc]

Dang. one wheel peal, peel or pill or whatever is getting old. lol thanks for the info.(rei)
