The weather certainly didn't cooperate -- that wind was nasty

Tom K, Craig T, and Collin P came down from Edmonton and showed us how to do it right

Fun event again, is it easy for you to post results separated into the sets? I had to leave before I could complete the afternoon. 

[JamesTCallaghan]

That was fun, I must have got oil in my PCV system because my car was burning a ton after the morning runs but had no problems the rest of the day or on the drive home.

Yes! Thank you. A ton of skilled drivers and a really challenging course compared to last week. Hats off to the SASC and its peoples.

Great sendoff to the season 

Don't say that. I vote that we check the forecast every Monday and try to set up another event if the next weekend's weather looks good.

[ZiG]

yup great day and great course for sure. If we do happen to do a slush event I'd bring my winter beater down.

The PAX timing stuff.
Also just how the classes are split up, I was reading the rules to see what all i can do to keep stock class. So much to learn but its gonna be fun for sure

[MurrayPeterson]

Cars are split into classes, where each class contains cars that are supposedly close to each other in autox performance.  See appendix A in the SCCA rules for the list of various cars:
   https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules
As people make performance mods to their cars, they will be forced into more difficult classes.  The SCCA rules cover the allowed mods for each class.  For example, if I decide to modify my springs, I would be forced to run in STR (Street Touting Roadster) instead of BS (B Street).

PAX is a handicapping system which attempts to equalize all of the classes.  For example, my S2000 is classed in BS (B Street), and it has a PAX of 0.826.  If I put on coilovers and wider wheels, I would be classed in STR, which has a PAX of 0.841.

So, if my run time is 60 seconds, my BS PAX time is 60x0.826 = 49.56 seconds
A car classed in STR needs to run faster in order to beat me in PAX time.  e.g. If he runs in the same time (60 seconds), he would lose to me in PAX time: 60x0.841=50.46 seconds

As for what you can do and still stay in street, just start reading the rules from the beginning and go until you reach the end of the street class section.  If it tells you that you can do something, then it is legal.  If it doesn't say anything about a modification being allowed, then it is illegal.

Street is pretty simple, with allowed mods of:
- change wheel diameter by +/- 1 inch (but no width or offset (above 1/4") change allowed)
- 1 swaybar (your choice of front or rear)
- adjustable shocks (must fit on OEM mounting points)
- gear shift knob
- catch can (provided it does not affect PVC behaviour)
- any tire provided it has 200 tread wear or higher
- any guages or aftermarket radio (comfort and convenience items)

Following up Murray's list which is essentially a summary of this SCCA 'cheat sheet' list of allowable modifications by class:

Thanks so much!!!! Makes sense.  I really appreciate all the info!!!
Thanks Murray and SKI-R

[Reijo]

That's a great pocket reference etc. but please make sure you read the actual rule book since there is more detail and explanation in there.

One example is adjustable shocks:   They can have a max.of 2 adjustments ... no triple or more adjustments....
