huh? you guys don't allow r-compounds in stock class???

 

I don't know for sure... if R's are allowed, then bring it on

 

SCCA rules definitely allow R's in stock class.

I'm not sure about NASA rules.....

 

so victoracers can keep me in DS and not DSP

 

That's what I'm sayin. I'm already slow enough in BS, don't need to be in BSP.

 

If you change rim size does it put you in street prepared?
I run a SpecV and want to get a set of race tires but, my stock rims are 17 inch I want to run a smaller rim. But, I dont want to not be able to run in STX. I run in DSX now but my suspension will be here for Xmas. If anyone knows please post. Thanx

SCCA rule basically says you MUST keep stock rim size (you can swap out for lighter rims of course) to stay in stock class, but R-compounds (Victoracers, Hoosiers) ARE OK, and is probably THE biggest enhancement you can do in stock class (at least 3-4 second difference for a good driver)

change of rim size should still keep you in STX. You have to do A LOT more than just rim size to be bumped to SP classes... (like stripping out interior trims, removing seats, etc...)

 

Just for clarification. Stock rim sizes on an otherwise legal stock car ( still allows alignments, shocks, cat back exhaust ) and any DOT R compound tire (Victoracer, Hoosier Autocrosser, A302, BFG G-force R or whatever it is called now) is allowed in stock. You are allowed the same tires on any sized rim (and other mods) in Street Prepared. If you run a non-DOT tire (aka a full racing slick like Kenan runs on the yellow Mustang) then you have to run in Prepared where you are allowed to gut the interior and do lots to the internals of the engine.

Now STS, STX and SM really don't follow these guildelines and are an exception.

 

many thanx

thanks for the clarifications roadRacer
