Some people get uptight and butthurt about little things, and if there's any amateur level group that represents that it's SCCA. In any case with the RC1's OP should show up self-classed in CSP and see how he feels after an event or three. I know I saw the STX competition and said "yes, I want to compete with that" but luckily hadn't spent money in the wrong direction yet. |

Hell, you can win an overall pro solo championship with louvers on your car.

What "update" are you referring to?

I'll have to go dig around. There was something I saw this spring that was saying it was up to regions to allow non functional mods in ST on a case by case basis kind of thing. Too hard to find that stuff while I am at work. One of our other members had sent it to me.

Give it a season or two with the car before you start to narrow down onto something. Save up money for parts but don't buy anything except tires and a few basics (sway bars, etc.) yet. Ride with as many people as you can. Drive other people's cars if they'll let you. The competitive landscape changes so much over time that there's no benefit to building for a class when you're just starting out as your car may not be competitive in those classes by the time you have enough experience to put it to use.

@Locust most groups don't let you register without picking a class, picking the right one is as easy as starting a thread on a message board with a list of mods.
The rest of your advice is great though. |

Just above 14.1 Authorized Modifications. Pretty sure this was a recent add.
"Under the provisions of Section 1.1 of these rules, SCCA® Regions are free to allow any other version of the Street Touring® concept which meets local needs. In particular, some leeway in the area of bodywork allowances (e.g., wings/spoilers beyond those allowed in Section 14.2.F) is encouraged at SCCA® Regional Solo® events." |
