SCCA Autocross Classing - EXPLAINED!

[@literallyjustav8]

Great breakdown! Thanks for getting cool shots of my car! 💪

[@MrTay675]

Which car was yours?

[@aliaryabrothers]

Love it huge help

[@johnmcraven3598]

Heh, I bought my '04 Mazdaspeed Miata with a few modest engine mods in place (Megasquirt, bigger injectors, bigger intercooler, etc) and while I'm running it at low boost an only making 220 - 230 whp, those mods stick me all the way up into the newer XS-B class. Where almost anything goes, you need a license plate and 200TW pretty much. If I undid a few mods I'd drop all the way back to the E-street class.

Very helpful. Thank you

[@Mrluvshack]

Thank you for this!!!!

[@WraithlingRavenchild]

Huh, Guess I'm punching above my weight. Ran SM for my first season and chased the leader by 2 seconds... on all season radial tires, stock sways, BC coil overs, FMIC on stock turbo, and a tune for 91 pump gas. Last few events, I learned that I could take out my spare tire. Here is to a better next year (already upgraded the sways, and saving up for tires)

I’m going to go to my next auto-x event with my own interpretation of this video and just bend the rules and tell them Bryan from countersteer garage said so.

Thank you for the explanation. Seems straight forward, too straight forward - however, (not quite fair?). I am looking to attend my first autocross event in a couple weeks with my new Corvette C8Z06 (670hp). It is a stock vehicle. However it seems unfair to be in the same category as say a stock Corolla in street class. Although I have done a couple track-focused driving schools, I would consider myself a novice to autocross. Now I am sure that there are guys out there that will hand me my butt with half the horsepower, but how are the other factors of (make, model, hp, experience level...) factored into determining your class? Thanks for any help or advice you can give, and thank you for the video. Looking forward to entering this new journey.

[@CountersteerGarage]

Stock for stock you’ll be in the same class as a stock Corolla, but you’ll then search your model in Appendix A for your PAX (handicap) where the Corolla will have a much more favorable PAX to help it be competitive against a Z06!

[@ponypowertrucking]

What kinda cars are allowed in each class however? Is it solely based on mods? Would excessive mods put a basic car up against something supercar level? Can any car compete? Are there restrictions? Could i say fully build a car and put downpipes nos etc and fit in a class or would i have to use specific cars and only certain mods? Theres not a lot of info on all of this

[@CountersteerGarage]

A lot of answers to your questions can be found in Appendix A of the SCCA Solo Rulebook. It lists all the allowed vehicles and what sub-class, or PAX-class they fall in. There’s a class for pretty much anything - even home built formula cars! Lots of specific questions though, best bet is to peruse the Solo Rules for answers
