Hi Reijo,

Is the SCCA classing the standard across western Canada and the US, or are clubs using other car classification standards?

Thanks,
Robin.

[Reijo]

Car classing is the same for ASN/FiA Canada (across Canada) and all SCCA clubs (across USA) across US including Alaska, Hawaii and even Chile ...

There is also NASA but they are not on the same scale.

Also regionally/locally clubs may adopt some local classes ... like SCCA Cal Club has an Open Pax class (not an official SCCA) and California Mod ... (e.g. anything with a licence plate).

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.

Street classes have a very limited number of allowed mods, so you are unlikely to fit into SS.

Here is a worksheet (out of date) made up by Grant C. from ASA club that will give you a quick idea of where your car will class:

For the real classing, you need to go through the rules and work out where your car belongs:
http://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules

Start in section 13 (street classes) and keep reading until you find the class that allows all of your modifications.  For example, if you have removed your rear seat, you will have to keep reading until you hit the first class that allows this (street modified).

Once you have found the class that allows all of your mods, (sounds like street modified or higher), then go into appendix A and find your car under the appropriate class.

Thanks Murray...

Looks like SSM for me 

[Reijo]

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 ...

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

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

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...

If you removed some carpet (cut for instance ... but no more than necessary I believe) for installation of a roll bar then that is ok (confirm in the rules for SSM), but generally speaking all the interior has to be intact.  In Prepared you can remove the entire interior.

The GT4 should be in SS.  Maybe drove something in CS in the past?

[Stuart]

This made me look, and a few others popped out, with possible correct classes:
CS Caymen GT4 => SS
SSM Mustang => SM
BSP 97 Miata => CSP
CSP Mustang => ESP
DM 996tt => EM
AM Jetta => need more info
