Please help me class my car for US competition!

Hey,

I am totally confused by what class I would be in when competing in the US. In Canada we run different PAX (I am classed DSS here).

2006
John Cooper Works (factory installed)
Helix Camber plates
H sport Lowering springs
H sport Rear sway bar (race)
tires are 16" (17" are stock on the JCW)
Kuhmo V710s

Thanks!

that is DSP per current SCCA rules. if you substitute tires with a treadware rating over 140, that is STX.

Yes, DSP is correct for 2006 JCW factory option MCS
Due to having-
Helix Camber plates
H sport Lowering springs
H sport Rear sway bar (race)
Any wheels and any tires street or R compounds OK.

If you had
2006 John Cooper Works (factory installed)
Stock sized wheels with Kuhmo V710s to fit
Then you could have run in B- Stock class.


JCWgurl,
That's one nicely modded JCW you got there. Post pictures when you can.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I should update my pics in here to some more current racing ones...I actually do have some great ones.

I am seriously considering attending the Milwaukee event this summer - doesn't seem like there is really THAT MUCH female competition (although they are quite good). If I can score a few top 10's in my club this year it will be a go. Had 12th RAW in the first event (out of about 70)- which in our club is excellent since it is SUPER competitive. One of our guys (Noel in an FS Mustang) attended last year's US nationals and just missed 1st. He is USUALLY top 10 here but there are at LEAST 9 others who can capture FTD on any given day. Hopefully I'll add my name to the list this year....still learning and have about 1.5 seconds more to get out of "rex".
