Autox & SCCA -First timer questions
Monday, May 22, 2006 5:11 PM
What’s up guys.
I’ve never tried autox before and I have a few questions about my modifications. I didn’t build my car for autox so I’m not sure what class I will be in.

Here is my mod list:

RK Sport Intake
RK Sport Under Drive Pulley
Prothane Trany Mounts
Fedenza Flywheel
Comp Clutch
Phantom Grip
4-1 Header
Cryotreated Trans Gears
Axim Neo 17's
Toyo Proxie RA1 Tires
Tein Shock/Strut
Removable Steering Wheel
Roll Cage

I believe that my car will be SM because of the clutch and phantom grim.

My questions are:

1. Is taking out the rear seats and passengers seat allowed?

2. I have a roll bar that was installed by some geto shop. It meets all the other requirements, but the welds are cheap looking and are not “of the highest possible quality” as the rules require. Will I be disallowed from competing even if my class doesn’t require a roll bar?

3. What do I use to write my number on the car if window chalk is not allowed?

4. I know how to set my tire pressure for drag racing, but where do I start for autox

Thanks

If its worth doing its worth over doing.

Kind of cheap but you can use blue painter's tape for numbering until you can figure out something more permanent. If you sign up or 'purchase' a number I'd get yourself some magentic numbers/letters.
Tire pressure is a trial and error deal until you know how your car handles on individual courses, check tire wear after each lap and adjust pressures for what you're getting, no grip, burn off edges.
Do you have a more spirited ailgnment? With neutral camber you are going to have a little more trouble with the edges of your tires tearing off.
Best of luck and let us know how it goes for ya. Oh and most importantly it's about FUN!
