Nice. What kind of camera?

Excuse my ignorance, but what have you done to your MSC that puts it in F prepared?

Its a flip cam knock off called VADO. has "HD" works pretty well. but a really small lens with no lens cap. So i don't know how long it will last.

pulleys and A6 hoosiers are Sm legal.

Mine's about 600lbs lighter than a SM legal car.
street and stock classes require an interior. My mini is completely gutted for weight savings and track safety Extra seats, dash, heat system, carpet sound dampening, metal frame for the rear seats its all gone. In addition to the CF hood, I also run a light weight 5lb door on the drivers side and lexan in place of the headlights. a lot of wheel well plastic is trimmed. Cat delete is also not SM legal.

True Race slicks on the front are not SM legal, there substantially lighter than the A6's but only work on the Front as the rears don't get hot enough, so I run a6's there.

Its at 2100lbs and there are a lot of other things I can do to get the car lighter 1900lbs, stiffer, and more powerful, but right now I'm still sorting the suspension.

Sounds/looks like a fun setup. I see a few things you could work on, but I'm not going to call them out in here.

Nice to see.

I think eventually I might move into prepared from SM, once / if the car is caged. Not a big concern for me, but how competitive is the car at divisonals / tours?

"stuff to work on" -yeah, I'm by no means a great driver yet.

"competitive at regional etc"
At nats all the other FP cars are RWD/AWD. evolution, 70's 240z cars, e36 BMW, porsche, lotus elise + exige. I just ended up in this class because the car was gutted when I bought it.

ultimately competitveness is 90% driver, 8% tires, and 2% car.
