1) At nationals some classes are selected randomly to have some random component checked across the whole field for compliance. Nothing to worry about here at a local/divisional level. 2) If someone believes your car is illegal and checks it. At national events you are required to open your car up, pop off a wheel, and anyone in your class is allowed to visually inspect your car. If they see something illegal, they can file a protest. This can happen at a local level too, but most people don't care that much, unless it's a blatant disregard for the rulebook/classing structure and because of it you are competitive or crushing the class. The best policy to have is to be open with your competitors about what you are running. Alert registration and/or your competitors the morning of "hey, I have this modification, I know it is illegal per the rules but I would like to run the class because I don't think it's a significant advantage, are you ok with that?" If someone takes issue, just run STX or w/e class the car is actually legal for and still have some fun.

I think that if you'll have illegal parts, winning won't be all that fulfilling. If that was me, I'd be getting a nagging feeling that I only won/trophied cause I cheated.
If one is gonna bother with disassembling suspension pieces - get better shocks and stay legal. You'd be faster too. |

Agreed. The chair is going to tell you to run the correct class. They aren't, and shouldn't, tell you to run illegally.

Theoretically, any shock with more rear rebound damping than stock would do. But you'd have to have them dyno'd to be able to set them up like that. TBH, one has to be pretty proficient in autox/car control to be able to feel the difference and use it. I would not recommend bothering with this until you have several seasons behind you. Just get good shocks. It's still worth to have those dynoed though, just to use whatever adjustments there are to set them as equal to each other as possible. |

Saw a galaxy blue BRZ with a 'limited' spoiler in the port Atwater garage at the ren cen. The strange part was that it had a Michigan manufacturers plate. Subaru always uses New Jersey manufacturer plates since that's where their North American headquarters is. I wonder if GM is doing something with it.
edit: @dsgerbc Thanks for the explanation. I'm probably going to go with better wheels + tires, better brake pads and decide on the future mods after an event or two on that setup. So far, I only have 4 AutoX events under my belt. The best thing for me really, even more than tires, is seat time. That's going to be my priority next year.

When I was at the proving grounds they had a much of other manufactures cars, I asked about it and they said it was to measure the competition.

I'm probably gonna try to sell them as a set for a few more months, after that I'm keeping the wheels and only selling PSS tires. |
