Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
Is there a site where I can find that the e46 m3 was amended into the STU class. I can't find it anywhere.

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
I just went through that earlier and I didn't see anything about allowing e46 m3's in STU. I Emailed Leonard the novice coordinator and he said SST, but when I look at http://cms.scca.com/documents/Solo_Rule ... gories.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I dont' even see an SST class. SHould I be looking elsewhere?Aaron Goldsmith wrote:http://www.scca.com/contentpage.aspx?content=78" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Johnny Liu wrote:Is there a site where I can find that the e46 m3 was amended into the STU class.

I guess national or regional class makeup should be the same right?

SST is a local only class for cars not otherwise legal for ST - however, the E46 M3 is legal in STU. Trust me, I raced quite a few of them this year at National events.

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
You should for SST classing and other local classes. However, no need in your case, since you have a car which is eligible and some might even think, competitive, in a National class.Johnny Liu wrote:awesome. so I should be looking at the regional website for the majority of my info over the scca.org site?Max Hayter wrote:SST is a local only class for cars not otherwise legal for ST - however, the E46 M3 is legal in STU.

Originally, the E46 M3 was excluded from STU, but that exclusion has been removed for a while now.
STU doesn't specifically list cars (other than giving a non-exhaustive list of examples).

Class Requirements and Restrictions:
Coupes/Sedans - 4 seats minimum

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
Which class would a Datsun 240Z w/ Chevy Small Block engine on normal road tires be in?
I did a lot of searching and couldn't really get a definite answer.
~thanks!

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
Locally, it sounds made for our CST class.
Nationally, it would probably have to go to XP (or EM) because of the engine swap.

Thank you very much for your quick reply!
Sorry, but I was looking everywhere for a CST, XP, and EM classes and didn't find anything on http://cms.scca.com/documents/Solo_Rule ... gories.pdf
Am I missing something?

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
XP and EM are brutally fast classes. But our local CST class is a lot of fun. At least two z guys run there regularly, sometimes more. Its pretty wide open, but the spirit is more build what you like for many purposes vs mega dollars specifically for a defined set of rules. Downside is that CST is only local, but for now that's where I'd go. Art Rinner is our local Z guru.

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
Looking for classing information.
1990 Corvette L98 6sp Z51, ZR-1 wheels, Kumo tires. K&N Air Filter, I think it has Cat Back exhaust replacement, looks pretty stock. Koni Adjustable Shocks, lowered, Aftermarket PROM. Inside I am adding a harness bar, Pyrotect 5 point harness. I believe that's it.
Thanks
Art Grant

Re: Post Car Classing Help Questions Here!
Art,
I think the wider than stock wheels and the aftermarket PROM would put you in BSP, at least nationally. I don't know about which local only classes are ok.

Can't remember which year is which, but the 16v 318 is in DSP and the 8v is in FSP.
The crack would have to be pretty bad for you to fail tech inspection.
