I'm pretty interested to see that 993 go, sir.   Looks like a good time.

It's had plenty of track time, a solosport virgin though....  Some minor suspension adjustments will be in order to help with turn in etc...

Sounded like SSM ... note that you need your entire interior such as carpets etc. for SM and SSM classes (they are "street" classes after all) but otherwise "almost" anything else goes ...

Does partial carpet count? Most (not all carpet has been removed)...

 If not then i am probably in Prepared.....  However will be running 300 rated tires so will be interesting

I just entered for the Sept 25th Event, However unsure what class my car would be considered. I entered in Super Street as my car at track events seems to be competitive with those cars.

It is far from stock (easier to list what is stock that what isn't) 

Is there a catch all for modified cars? IS there a base classification and adjustments based on modifications etc?

Any help appreciated.

The car is on the louder side, i do have a valve I can flip to reduce db somewhat...  Have never had it measured so would really be a case of try it and see i guess.

It is probably a little louder than a GT3 exhaust, it does have a muffler but no cats..

Thanks Reijo,  We have met on a number of occasions, I think we have even swapped seats at a few schools as well...

My car will be in the highest class I suspect, its easier to list what is stock that what isn't

I will join and try and get to a couple of events,

From a sound perspective, what are the limits at the different venues?

Just registered for the site, interested in the process to compete... Of course Joining the club would be the first step, what else is needed?  Any school/licencing requirements?  What do I need to do to start competing?

I have plenty of track experience (close to 30 years) and have been an instructor for PCA (Porsche) and BMW Clubs for 10 plus years. I have also instructed at a number of WCMA licencing days back in the old Race City times.
