Class Options

[joshb86]

Hey Guys,

I live in Huntsville but plan on making all bham events as well this year. I usually never have an issue with no one else being in my class in bham(DSP), but always do in Huntsville. Huntsville I was recently told I could run STM(Street Tire Modified) as another option. I was just curious if there was anything similar to the "run what you brung" class that Huntsville has in bham?

I have a larger throttle body and different intake manifold on the car which is why I run DSP.

STF maybe
XDSP for sure
SMF for sure
XP pretty sure

Only chooses I see with other cars registered.

I'm not sure what the STM rules are, but if you are worried about having competition, and are looking to compete in a class championship, then you could always run in the Tire Pax class. This class allows you to run any class car on Street Tires utilizing the PAX modifier. You are pretty much always guaranteed class competition and the chance for a class championship at the end of the year.
There are so many classes available in the SCCA Solo rulebook, we try to keep the local classes as minimal as possible.

Thanks guys! I'll start reading up and figure out my best option.

You're driving the Civic Si, right? It could be in STX, not STF, but the throttle body & intake manifold is not allowed in Street Touring.

Your best bet in the Tire PAX class is to run TDSP. Tire was once a large class but the advent of the Street classes this year have basically gutted it since most of the prior competitors were running Stock class and now transitioned to Street.

The best chance of head-to-head competition for you in Bham is probably XP. Unless you want to try to break up the Evo party in SM

HA! I want nothing to do with getting smashed by the Evo party. Yeah, I'm in the Civic Si. Bham I'll stick to DSP for this weekend. Usually I always have at least a couple others in bham. I'll look into XP as well and get some magnets ordered.

We will have Magnet board in 12"x24" white for $6 and all the class and numbers for sale in black vinyl for $1 numbers and $2 letters. I know that is a horrible sentence but, eh, whatever.

It will be available in the trailer this weekend.

You're welcome to come play in XP with us! In our region, XP is fairly broad, and you never know what will show up. It essentially is a "run what you brung" class since the rules for XP are so extreme. We have the most fun!

looks like ALSCCA is also running a special red S2000 class as well - someone tell Ed he is in the wrong class

I would like to see one of those red S2000s beat Ed, he is fast this year!

[Vfastcaddy]

Wow, 73 pre-registered! Now there's a blue S2000 in BS as well. Should be fun!

That is the most I can remember in a long time for a points event. We could easily break 100.

So 3 run groups. I've got $10 to edge SM in first run group and CSP in last group….

[joshb86]

So I didn't make it to the event and here's why... A woman shot across all 6 lanes of the parkway in Huntsville and I tagged her first. Thankfully everyone was OK. Pretty certain the car is totaled, but waiting for a confirmation.
