I wanted to buy this aero panel for my 2007 Miata: link . It's not like it's a wing or other big aero modification. Is it considered illegal in stock class? I'm running in CS. The general rule of thumb for SCCA classing is if the rulebook doesn't explicitly allow it ... it's illegal. That being sai...

Practice starts yes. Test course no.

Hey everybody, I'm looking for a few *experienced* helpers to do the Pro setup this Friday. We will be starting early (~8 am) and going until Howard and the SCCA crew is satisfied. If you'd like to help out please post below. I don't expect very many of you can come that early in the morning but if ...

Glad you were able to make it out after attending the Starting Line school last year. We hope to see you again in the future!

Course Maps for this weekend.

Well done Anthony. I assume you design for Sunday, then make adjustments to make it work for Saturday. Most of us will start with an idea for Sunday in mind and then will re-tool the start/finish sectors. If your design has good flow, then it should work well enough in reverse with simple visual ch...

What time were you thinking? I may be able to help Friday, just want to decide whether to take a day off or half day. You can put me down for now though.

I'm planning on doing a half day at work so just plan on the afternoon around 2 pm.

Hey Everybody! I'd like three helpers for Friday set up and two more for Saturday change over. Plan to start around 2pm on Friday and finish hopefully by 6 pm. Let me know if you'd like to help out! This will count as your work assignment for the next day. Friday: 1) Michael Parker 2) 3) Saturday: 1...

Autoclub is basically all straights, just run in Advanced! That way you only have 7 people to let by ;)

Hmmmm, maybe I'll show up ;)

I just got word that Fresno's chapter has secured their first official event at Minter Airfield on March 9th/10th. I know it's late breaking, but odd that I'm not seeing discussion of this on Fresno SCCA AX forum, nor has it made their schedule. Super special direct vice chair to vice chair acknowl...

Any ideas on cost? Ideal places to stay? Cost for the site or the event? Event wise I'm assuming in line with Fresno's typical prices which should be close to ours ($40 range?). Site wise, I'm not quite sure. We've had some discussions with SFR regarding the site price but I haven't heard what the ...

Hey everyone, I just got word that Fresno's chapter has secured their first official event at Minter Airfield on March 9th/10th. Minter is a large concrete airstrip (similar to the now deceased El Toro) located in the Bakersfield area (it's just east of Buttonwillow on Lerdo Highway for reference). ...

Hi all, just did my first autoX this weekend (non-SCCA), and am looking to get more involved. My current setup is: 2015 NC Miata PRHT Tein Flex Z Coilovers Adj Front & Rear Sway Bars Full Exhaust - Header, Midpipe with Cat, Muffler Tuned ECU 17x9 wheels w/ 245/40-17 Firehawk Indy500 (340TW). Li...

Hey everyone,

I'm without my SSC ride for January's event so if anyone wants a tire warmer for Sunday (or maybe Saturday) let me know!

Stephen,

I have a 2016 Fiesta ST with Koni's, Mountune Catback exhaust and the proper 16x7 wheels. The only thing it is missing is tires.

I wasn't planning on competing in it but I will be driving it to the event (I'm likely running SSC). Shoot me a message if you'd like to know more.

Mike Simanyi wrote:Could you design a course that doesn't adversely affect competition in SSC?

Sure thing, slow 180 degree switchbacks up the hill it is!

Guess I'm designing course, get your bribes in now for them early season points

I had my doubts Saturday but Sunday sealed the deal. Excellent course and a great way to end a great season! Let's keep up the creativity next year!

Hi Jon, First step is to check your car's classing here https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules . As a fellow NG employee I'm sure you can hunt through the manual and figure out what mods are/aren't allowed. In general though, for new people I would recommend slapping a nice tire on a second ...

[quote=]"Anthony Porta"]Yes to everyone thank you for your support! [quote]

Whoops, spoke too soon. Work holiday party starts at 6 pm, gotta jet out after the Practice to kiss up to the boss man #tiremoney

I'm happy to help out in the morning Sunday though!

Can't make Friday but I'm happy to stay after and help with the changeover if you still need people.

2009 Honda Civic Si: N/A, Coilovers, CAI, Tuned, K-Tuned Race Header, Straight Pipe. Your straight pipe bumps you from Street Touring into Street Prepared (aka Hoosier-land). If you replaced it with a high-flow cat then you'd be in STX as long as you meet the wheel width/tire size requirements. Che...

At the end of the day, CST exists in its own little bubble in our region as do many other "catch-all" classes throughout the country. The class is, as stated above, designed to allow the large number of cars in the real world that don't fit the Solo rule sets to run together. We have a ver...
