A rough sketch of the track I will be running. Finally a couple of my friends are going! EK Civic, RSX, Sunfire, and of course.. the usual me (celica), my brother -MRS, and Corolla

The Corolla, Sunfire, and Civic will all be in the same class (STS)
Me.. as usual.. the same class as them Cooper S

Im building a in car camera mount right now. Hopefully I will have an in car and another video from the outside.

Its going to really hot. And theres thought of running nitrogen in my tires (they stay more constant with pressure) I just have to see till then

heres my take:

first on stock category:
celicas as far back as 4th gens up to 7th gen GTS (7th gen GTs are in H-Stock... dont ask me why it is this way) are all in G-stock. nationally, nothing in GS has a fighting chance against the Mini Cooper S. H-stock is the same way with the standard Mini Cooper. On the local/regional side, I think given the proper stock class treatment it just depends on the driver and the local competitors, you would be at a distinct disadvantage but given enough time to develop as a driver in the car they can atleast be competitive... unless you are driving against a lot of minis with decent drivers. I think the right thing to do here is try to get the celicas (less the 7th gen GTS) moved to HS.

modified classes
Back in 01 and 02 John (evilspeed) Dolecek proved the 6th gen to be competitive nationally in STS class, winning and placing in a number of national pro and divisional events, however the class has really evolved since 02 and repeating such a feat would be extremely difficult though i will restrict myself from saying impossible. I think if the celica were to have a fighting chance in a class nationally this would be it, but for lack of a lesser cliche you better be damn good if you expect to take that knife to a gun fight.

Hmmm, that is weird. Why would a 140 power 7th gen GT be in H-stock, but a 135 (roughly) 6th gen GT be in G -stock? also, are 6th gen ST's in G? Casue thats just weird. Sorry for being noOb but this whole thread has me intriged, but im not very familier with these classes. Like what order do they go in and what is STS? Thanks boosted.
