If it's nothing more than a catback exhaust then I would say CS.

It was a challenging course for sure and I had a tough time being patient enough to keep things tight in some of the elements especially the last left handers before the finish.

Good to know on Discount pricing. Also, would like to hear your thoughts on the the 730s when you get a chance.
I'll have some input on the V730s this weekend.
-
So for those that buy tires from tirerack, since discount tire effectively owns tirerack now, they will honor just the cost of mounting, which is $22 per tire. I just paid 88 bucks today to have some kumho v730s mounted and my old rival 1.5 S's dismounted.

Thanks Much Sid. Appreciate the feedback on this.
No worries. On a side note, you guys that are running in SM that run 200tw tires should think about moving to XS-A since the PAX is more forgiving than the hoosier PAX'd SM class.
-
SM or Xtreme Street-A since you are on street tires.

So the driver wasn't even Ethan and that probably wasn't the right car. Ethan couldn't make it and this driver checked in as Ethan. It was too late to completely re-do the registration so we ran with it.
I remember we guessed at the class and I "think" it was a Veloster Turbo with coilovers?
If it was just a regular Veloster, and not the "N", then yes indeed STH. If it was a Veloster N on coilovers, then it would be STU.
-
Ethan Rose 2020 Mustang isnt an STH car. If it was stock it should be FS
-
This is an excellent find, especially for those people who refuse to even look at the rulebook and do a CTRL-F to see which class their car actually pops up in the search.
Example:
I just typed in a car I typically get classing questions asked about a lot and there are 7 results.
The tool found is very useful but just as Tom mentioned, still reference the rulebook to be sure (especially when modifications are in question.)

Hey Sid!
Does my Signature not show? I looked over the settings again and it's visible for me... Thanks for looking out
Your good.
-
Mr. King! Welcome back old timer! Dont forget to add your name to your signature for those that dont know or remember you.
-
No problem Lance. I know it adds more time for the guys doing timing and scoring at the end so if classes are at least correct, that's one less thing to worry about.

Not sure if classing errors want to be addressed now to help with scoring later, but here are some:
A35 Russel Ostergaard 2019 Civic CS -should be GS if it's an SI, HS if not
B20 Yue Zhao 2018 Accord STS -should be in STH
B29 Mingzhe Liu 2015 Ford Fiesta FS - Should be HS
B30 Ao Li 2018 Civic Type R STH- should be STU

Directly out of the Street Touring section
14.2 BODYWORK
A. Pedal cover kits and other interior cosmetic accessories may be added.
“Dress-up” items such as chrome dipsticks and non-standard filler caps are permitted, provided they serve no other purpose.
B. The driver and front passenger seats may be replaced with the follow-ing restrictions. The seating surface must be fully upholstered. The top of the seat, or an attached headrest, may not be below the center of the driver’s head. The seat, including mounting hardware, must weigh at least 25 pounds and must be attached using the OE body mounting holes/studs. Additional mounting points may be added.It does not say rear seats can be removed, therefore it is not legal to do so for STU, or any street touring class.
-
Rule of thumb for SCCA ruling, if it is not written specifically saying you can do it, then it's not legal.

Did those locations mentioned above have restrictions that mandate the site be cleaned up and vacated by 5 pm? I believe I've had this conversation with attendees at the Chicago area events before and their site was much more lenient and larger for paddock and grid areas than AMP.
Lance is correct. Very difficult to allow 250+ participants and be cleaned up and off site by 5pm. Steve also made mention of past times where we did have the max of 240 or so drivers and got 3 runs. Understandable for a national event, not so great for a local event and many were unhappy with it.
It's an unfortunate trade off, but right now the only viable option for the Phx region unless track restrictions are lifted or other sites are obtained.
-
Dave I think I might have something to do with being able to provide security if the site hits a certain number of participants/spectators.
-
Going through some of the current registration there are some cars that need to be moved to the appropriate classes (pending if they aren't waitlisted of course):
Marchell Fletcher: 2019 Miata ES - should be CS
Mingzhe Liu: 2015 Ford Fiesta ST FS - should be HS
Ao Li: 2018 Honda Civic Type R STU - should be in STU
Yue Zhao 2018 Honda Accord STS - should be in STH
-
Correct. This would be legal for STU regardless of diameter as it is considered part of the air inlet/intake.
-
The throttle body and injectors take you out of any kind of street touring so the next class progression for this car I believe would be DSP.
-
You appear to be registered to run in A so therefore you work in B group. Once you do your work assignment, your done for the day.
-
Oh Scott also forgot to mention he's piloting something new (he's been dialing it in this past summer at Marana). Noticed a 2017 Golf R classed in STH, it should be in STU (older less powerful Golf R is an STH car though.
-
Awesome news!!
-
Lots of good ideas being thrown out here. I would suggest attending one of the upcoming SC meetings with a list of ideas/proposal on how the region could support these events.
Yes these events have been done in the past, but logistically there were more options other than AMP to choose from.

Coilovers put you into at minimum, STR
