This is a General Classing Guide.
Every year, cars can be moved from class to class by the SCCA. It is the competitor's responsibility to make sure his or her car is properly classified by making sure to read the latest rules.

I've got lowering springs on my Civic Si! Where can I go?
Spring changes are not allowed in stock class. You can go to any prep level higher than Stock. Examples for a 1991 Civic Si: ST, FSP

I've got a boost controller on my Evo!
Boost changes are not allowed in Stock nor ST* (STS STX STU...) classes. You can go to *SP (ASP BSP CSP...) and higher.

My Mustang has a same manufacturer engine swap!

I've got an S2000 motor in my AE86 Corolla!
