What SCCA class...

[ARunto]

I know we run D-stock stock. What street prepared class will the MSP be bumped up to?

Thanks,

I'm betting CSP, but maybe DSP.

Yea, in CSP you'll be overrun by miatas
DSP may be too low for you though.

Considering that the MP3 goes into FSP, I would expect the MSP in DSP. As for it being an overdog, I HIGHLY doubt it: You CAN'T touch the boost in SP, so the easiest way to step up the power is lost. Add to that the fact that EVERYONE in DSP will have a good LSD, and most of the other advantages of the MSP just seem to disappear...

my bad. i have a pretty dim view of DSP cars... the ones running last weekend in houston were v6 solaras, vr6 jettas... and i was spanking their times w/ me in Street Touring.... i know boost is a no-no, that's a straight to SM modification, then you get to run with the BIG DOGS

i guess the competition is tighter in other regions... my bad...

Here in Norcal, we have a guy named Ben Martinez running a 74 Capri in DSP. He is INCREDIBLY fast!! Thtat car is usually in the top 10-15 overall, and PAX in the top 5...

We also have one of the top female drivers in the country: Teresa Neidel-McKee running a DSP IS300 with the car owner Derek Butts. Both drivers have multiple national event wins this year, and are favorites for the National Championships in Sep...

I can see where your bias about DSP might come from, but it's NOT the same everywhere...

As counter example, Norcal is really WEAK in the Prepared and Modified classes, so I probably have a lot less respect for those classes than people in parts of the country with higher caliber drivers in those classes locally...
