Carbon fiber hood & SCCA classing
 

If I read my handbook correctly my STX car would be illegal with a carbon fiber hood and trunk lid and it appears to me would not even be eligible for SP. Anyone have any experience with this? Trying to turn my curse of hail damage into a blessing without screwing up my classing.


Thanks

Carbon Fiber hood will put you into Street mod. Your classing is officially screwed.

Sweet. Looks like I will be spending my mod money to make the car look exactly the same as it did before Mother Nature rained her fury upon me. What a fun and frivolous purchase!

Damn Tim. Hail? You coming to the tour in peru next month?

Don't think I am national material yet. Better make sure I can stay afloat locally before I swim with the big boys

Isn't hail damage covered by insurance?

Yes insurance is covering it. However my deductible is eating up my "make my BRZ sound cooler than a Prius" funds

well it's a good thing lap times are silent........

I wonder how many people have bought C/F hoods for these cars that weigh more than stock and still been bumped a class :D

My thought exactly. It is difficult to beat the weight of the stock hood.

Bill and Ken are good, but they are also forthcoming and sharing folks. Could be you'd pick up tips that put you on track for "big boy" speed.

buy stock unpainted hood

stay in class

lose weight compared to stock

???

profit

Polish said unpainted hood for maximum weight loss and aero gain.

Absolutely I could learn from them and I routinely do from watching, talking to, and chasing faster drivers (like a certain BMW driver).
