List your class and the mods which put you in that class.

I think that's the X class, Terri. I was reading the rules earlier today and saw that you can register under X and just go to test yourself.

I just registered for my first autox of 2009. It's only about 5 miles from me, so there's no excuse to avoid it. I was looking at the registrants for the day and my jaw dropped. Definitely going to be interesting out there.

Mike, thanks for helping me out on the classification. I figured that if I go there and they classify me some other way, then so be it.

BSP for me! That's with the sways and springs, Crawford plenum, JWT intake, Motul DOT 4 fluid, braided lines, and the awesome presence of the Touring edition. :lol:

Now that I think about it, I should have probably entered in the SI class to start with. :dunno:

Sorry, but I won't have vids. Don't have the setup, don't really want to invest in it (yet). I'll try for pics, though.

Just FYI, under the 2010 SCCA SOLO rules the stock 350Z is now in the C-Stock class as is the non-NISMO 370Z. The NISMO 370Z is in B-Stock

The 350Z can still run in the B Street Prepared (BSP) class and may also be run in the Street Touring R (STR) depending on modifications.

Cheers!

He was running in C stock with a bone-stock Z with only wheels and race tires (no shocks, no exhaust, no FSB) until someone in his class protested his 17" wheels. (His HR Z came with 18" wheels, so the 17X8.5 and 9.5 wheels are not "legal")

And STR was a nice thought, but 3300lb cars on 255 rubber isn't a good idea when other cars in the same class are considerably lighter.

Some Z's came with wider stock tires.

I didn't know if people were aware that the 350Z had changed classes under the new rules, so I thought I'd throw that out there...

Yeah, I have to agree that the 350Z isn't going to be competitive in STR.

I'm afraid we're going to continue to be beat by the Mazda RX-8 in C-Stock, too.

In BSP, there are too many V-8 powered choices for us to do well there. The company where I work has a sports car club and there are a couple guys running older Corvettes in BSP. They're pretty darn fast. Sigh...

I guess that's why the hardcore SOLO-II guys first choose a class and then buy the car. That's still OK, though. I only autocross my Z two or three times per year just for fun.

I'd rather run the Formula Skip Barber 2000 cars on track, anyway. :biggrin:

Cheers :cheers:

I haven't checked the results from any recent national events, but the last time I did look at them, BSP was pretty much owned by the AWD/turbo cars.

I'd like to do some road racing too. Maybe someday. But for now the 16-20 days of autocrossing/year will have to do.

I didn't know about the new C class. I'd like to stay in BSP just because I know it and feel competitive enough with the rest of the cars.

:lol: And don't worry about site activity on the weekends. Most people are out enjoying the car, the weather, and their families.

Next weekend will be the first 2 autox events for my area.
