Time to re-title this forum to C-Stock. It's official.

 

C-Stock!

It's like B-Stock but with even more non-fwd cars to compete against.

 

Yes, we're the official SCCA sacrificial lambs. So many one time dominators of G and H bitched so much about the Mini take over, there weren't about to allow the JCW's in a class they might have a chance of doing well in.

 

C-Stock now includes-

Cooper S JCW 2006-2010 (factory installed)
Clubman S JCW 2009-2010

Any Cooper S JCW of earlier years not factory installed is excluded.

You compete with-

BMW M coupe and M Roadster 1996-2000, M3 (E30 and E36), Z3 6 cycl.
Corvette 1963-82
Ferrari 308 and 328
Lotus Espirit non turbo
Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata 2004-05, Miata 1.8L 1999-2005, Miata MX-5 2006-2010, RX7 Turbo 1987-91, RX8
Mercedes SLK
Morgan plus 8
Nissan 300ZX Turbo 1990-96, 350Z 2003-09, 370Z 2009-2010
Pontiac Solstice (non-GXP) 2006-09
Porsche 356 Carrera (4-cam), 911 (non-turbo), 911 Club Sport,914, 928, 944 (also with turbo), 968, Boxster (986 chassis, non-S 1997-2004, Carrera 2 & 4 (964 chassis).
Saturn Sky 2006-09
Toyota MR2 Spyder, supercharged, and turbo

In my region the front finishers are-
Miatas, MR2, and nationally the Solstice competes well.

Good luck, a class with good competition.

 

It actually has a Shot in C-Stock. You gotta Kick and push the front struts for some tiny amount of camber but the 09 JCW should actually have a shot. I'd put 245/40's on those wheels though. It's gonna be course dependent. Anything with sweepers it's over. Anything with transitions and low speed corners your coming out of a dig it's got a shot. The one time I autox'd our Mini it was an 03 with header, pulley and JCW springs and R6's (not A6's) and Open diff, it ran 1.3 seconds behind the current (at the time) A-Stock national champion in his S2k CR. I'd think a 09 JCW is going to make more power and torque then I had at the time and run an A6 tire it should be competetive in C-stock. SHOULD.

 

I'm running Kumho V710's on an Enkei PF01, with double adjustable Koni's and am doing well against RX8's and the miatas. I'm not a great driver, so I imagine that a really good driver could really have a shot.

 

So if anyone has success in C Stock please post here once the new season starts up.

 

so hey... isn't it time to change this to D Stock?

 

Yes, it is.

Currently SCCA stock classes for the MINI are-

COOPER (All models)= H-Stock (HS)
COOPER S (All models)= D-Stock (DS)
2006-2012 MCS JCW = D-Stock (DS)
2009-2012 Clubman S JCW = D-Stock (DS)

Permitted Modifications
• Any Struts - including adjustable damping
• Any substitution, addition or removal of a single anti-roll bar
• Panel Air Filter in stock air box
• Any Cat-back exhaust
• Harnesses (Quick-fit or similar) and C.G. Locks
• Wheels must be stock size and stock offset within 5mm. This means 15x5.5 and 16x6.5 for the MC and 16x6.5 and 17x7 for the MCS.
• R-compound Tires - Hoosier A6, Kumho V710, or similar. Street tires are also acceptable, but won't be very competitive since race tires are permitted in this class.
• Brake pads may be replaced
• Spare tire and tool kit may be removed
• Roll bars or roll cages may be added
• airbags may not be removed

Basically, that's about the extent of the modifications that can be done.

ARE NOT PERMITTED IN STOCK CLASS.
