Nice setup. before you go to the track throw on your stock rims if those foose rims are over 18'.

Here it's total bull****
You have Open-class -------> SC/Turbo Allowed
Turbo-class RWD/FWD------->Nitrous/SC/Turbo Allowed
Turbo-class AWD-------->Nitrous/SC/Turbo Allowed
Standard-class------->Max. 3.0liter engine's. Nitrous/SC/Turbo Not allowed.

So if i wanna race with my stock mustang, it's forced entry into the Open class or Turbo Class.
In whatever case i run against cars that have an average of 12.8 sec. on the 1/4 mile.

It's not fair. lol

You can just go and test your car on open track days commonly referred to as test & tune days.
There is no class designation.
Classes are for organized competion such as NMRA or FFW.
Are you talking about competing in those or just running the car?
Since you had to ask this question I assume you just want to get your times which you doon a test & tune day.
