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

"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."

y its that way? the only guess i can venture is because a group of 7th gen GT owners were able to present a case to the classification committee that got their car dropped to H-stock, id imagine non-7th GTS owners would have a good case to have that done as well. classifications as well as class index multipliers and altered and adjusted every year depending on national level competition. If vehicles dont come out to national competitions, they usually dont get paid attention to for reclassification. Even the Alltracs are G-stock.


cool starlet should be fun

Actually, all the 7th gens are G stock. I autoX against one at the DC events. The GTS used to be D stock and got moved this last year. All of the 6th gens were under consideration to be moved last year but that didn't happen. The ST used to be *the* car to have. It even got bumped up from H to G stock. That was before the new Mini came on the scene. I sent in a proposal to have them moved at the end of this season but it probably won't happen. I asked one of the SEB members about it and was told that the car is too old and they don't want to risk the chance of making an out of production car the dominant car in a class.

What would be interesting would be to build an FSP 6th gen GT. If I could find a no-frills (no sun-roof, cloth seats, manual windows, etc) '94 GT nearby I might looking into doing that. For now I will just continue to get beaten every other week. It doesn't help that I'm running against drivers mentioned in Sports Car as contenders at nationals. However, the car for GS may no longer be the Mini S. The Sentra SE-R was moved last year and its my pick for nationals this year. Unfortunately I can't make nationals this year but I will try to go next year. Boosted, let me know if you plan on coming to any DC events next year.

ya, i have heard that the SE-R can give the cooper-S a run for its money however never seeing one run (atleast w/ a competitive driver) in person leaves me still skeptical.

the DC pro is on my wish list to attend next year for sure, as far as national tour i'll likely attend peru but not sure of what else... maybe dc
