Hey guys,
I'll be running in a SCCA auto-x this weekend and was just wondering if anyone could tell me what class I should be in. I was thinking ESP, but wanted to make sure.
My mods are:
Engine - Torquer V2 cam
Intake - Lid and an LS6 Intake
Exhaust - Long tubes, true duals + 1-chambers
Suspension - Stock, with the exception of Summit's version of the Pro Kit.
I'll be running on my street tires.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

well your cam throws you out of esp. but if it your first on i dont thank any ones going to say any thing. Just ask when you do your paper work then they will let you know. they may put you in c.prep

Yeah, the cam is what I wondered about. I'm not competing or anything, just doing one of the weekend events. I did do one other back in 2009, but I didn't have the cam or the springs back then. I was in ESP at that point. Thanks for the help!

LMAO. I hope that's the case, but I doubt it. I'm more used to driving in a straight line and road type courses. Right now the only others registered in ESP are an 06 SRT8 Charger and a 79' Firebird. We'll see how it goes. It's all for fun anyway.

they will only know what you tell them. unless the cam sounds like a lumpy 60s muscle car, no one will know.

Yeah, a girl I used to work with had one, and I thought the same thing. I don't know either of these guys cars, so I don't know what either of them has done. I may be at an advantage, and I may be pretty outclassed. Don't really know yet.

We'll just say there's no denying there's a cam. Mine sounds kind of like a lumpy 60's muscle car with a megaphone.

Well, I ended up in SM. I got second place to a damn nice Quicksilver MKIV Supra. I would have won the class if I hadn't missed the turn into the exit on my quickest lap, lol. I kind of got caught up in the moment and drove right past it. He ended up taking the class by 0.2 seconds. Pisses me off that I would have won, if it weren't for a stupid mistake. It happens though. I had a blast and plan on going back to do it again next month. Got a few pics. I was bored before we started, so I made some numbers and class decals out of masking tape. After I did it, like 5 other people decided to, instead of using the window crap, Lol.
