Just curious, but does anyone here autocross their 'stang? Cuz I think it sounds very interesting.

 

also, if you DO autocross, what class does your 'stang qualify for? I am modifying mine much past stock so I'm trying to figure out what class I'd be in.

 

heres some info and to look up when and where the closet one to you is scca.org .Solo is the cones in the parking lot your timed.They class you by your car and what if anythings been done to it.Thes a class for every car with any number of mods or bone stock they try to keep it even so its all on the driver how well they know and can drive the car.They also have road racing and rally and they both are classed the same way its alot of fun try it once.If you do it and love it theres driving schools for it they have once a year same set up you learn alot doing that.

 

thanks man

My '66 competes in Street Mod, a class designed for the highly modified vehicles.
Its a lot of fun

 

Ya I think it would be pretty tight.

 

Its a lot of fun. I don't like to swap paint, so the timed eventsare for me. I have more fun with the street tires than the sticky's on the track. The car is a lot slower but its more fun to slide thru the turns. What mods are you doing?

 

I'm not 100% sure, but at the moment I'm beefing up my suspension for a 351W and my handling abilities. What else would you suggest?

 

A 351 in a '67 already puts you in either Street Mod, C-Prepared, X-Prepared, or E-Modified depending on what else has been done. Street Mod is pretty wide open as far as engine/powertrain mods go, and pretty free for swapping actual suspension components. But SM is quite limited on chassis tweaks - very little in the way of chassis stiffening mods are OK here. Prepared is more open for chassis and suspension, but has a higher minimum weight (3000 lbs with that 351 in CP, which you may be pretty close to).I doubt that you're at the XP or EM level of mods yet. You can download the SCCA Solo rulebook from scca.com, but keep in mind that the 2008 rules come out early next year. Feel free to ask questions either here or in the "Other Professional Racing" forum.

I used to auto-X the thumbnail car (it's semi-retired for now).
