SCCA Autocross Stock Class

[STEye]

I guess I'll start this subforum off. What stock class would this fall under? Also what Street Touring class? I'm assuming the same as the FK8?

I'm thinking it will still be D-Street, though there were talks of BS (I don't believe BS is the place for it).

My guess is BS. The FK8 has raw timed BS in the past and with more wheel and tire! Not to mention if there really are only 1000 type r's coming to the states, they wont put a car in a class like DS where everyone would have to buy one if they wanted to be competitive. I purchased my BS letters already lol.

It may not be the car to have in BS but I think it will compete for sure.

Welp, BS it is!

Can’t wait to get back in to autocross! Once I get an FL5 I’ll be using that and probably staying in the stock class. I’ll have to read up on the rules again. Thanks for the info and I’ll be watching your page.

Anyone know if it's possible to swap to 18" wheels and still stay in BS classing? What is the limit for width/offset/tire to stay in the class?

My region put me in DS at the last event temporarily (we can move me in the results if needed) and I was 1st out of 6. I figured it would have caused a stink (all Frisbees but me), but I would have finished with a larger margin in BS had I run that class. Granted, this was a local, non-points winter event. DS had a lot of our veterans running, so that explains the closer margin. After the event, I agree that BS is the better place for it.

I'm mainly excited about the classing because I can now order my letters/numbers lol. I haven't heard about classing for SCCA TT, but I'm thinking it may be Sport 3 like the FK8 due to the allowed modifications erasing the stock FL5 advantages over the FK8. That said, it's possible it will be Sport 2 due to FL5 availability/newness.

295s, holy crap. How’s that change the handling dynamics?
