Did we really need AS in SCCA?
5 National tours and only 5 cars, 3 tours had 0 AS drivers.

Seemed like a good idea at the time? ::shrug::
I think it will end up being a successful class. There are several cool cars in there, and the price spectrum ranges from mild (ten-yeard old C5 Vettes) to semi-wild ('08 Cayman S, E92 M3, 40th Anniversary 996 911). If I were shopping for a new autocross car, an A Stock car would be high on my list... right behind something for STR, which I think is part of the problem.
I will say I am a bit surprised that we haven't seen more cars show up yet.
Isn't this the result of last year's Stock Class Shuffle? Too early to judge. Give it a year or so.
Jim_H is going to be pissed if he has to buy another car. ;)
I am getting an e92 M3 as a DD/AX and a race car for the track. AS will be all mine, muh HA HA HA.
dibs on the 335i for $25k ;)
It has an automatic.Quote:

I got the ultimatum this morning. The Evo is getting parted, potentially sold and if I want to track/autocross any more I have to get something cheaper to run. I knew it was coming, but I hoped it would be another year or so.
Yep, a 335i oughta fill that bill.Quote:

Lol.
Sean, S2000s and RX-8s are pretty cheap, and they're a lot easier on the consumables (tires, brakes, clutches) than an Evo. ;)
S2000 = I don't fit. RX8 = I have NEVER liked them (sorry).
I had the S2k conversation earlier this week and man I just don't dig on them. Plus a decent Miata is $4k and a decent S2k is $10k+.
WOW! Sounds like we have another Miata pervert - I mean convert.Quote:

Saw a red NC base 5-speed on CL for $10k, one owner, 30-something K miles.... :)
NC = no go.
Has to be able to have a roll bar at the very least. A REAL roll bar.
Call me when they're legal for NASA and SCCA racing.
Honestly an NC is too expensive. I'm got a budget and I promise I'm going to stick to it (for this month at least).

The standard bar is approved for all NASA HPDE's. The petty bar design is approved for NASA Time Trials and meets the requirements for SCCA Track trials.
OK... Here
I call shotgun!
Haha Good luck with that. I've said that before and it is lucky to last a day.Quote:

Holy crap that bar is $900. Damn sure ain't getting it.

I need to go do a Corvette AX like I used to 10 years ago and let the non-Z06 guys know what has changed. I too am surprised locally that we don't have any 97+ Corvettes in AS.
Maybe if they designated a class "A Super Stock"... ::Fruity::
I am still pushing for Prepared Unlimited Super Stock.
Ahem??Quote:

I want to co-drive it.Quote:
