Hello all,

Im looking for some guidance on what is necessary to prep a front or mid pack 4th gen f body for AIX. I am not new to f bodies, as i currently have a '95 z28 with a H/C/I 370lq9/t56 that is prepped for autocross/track days in the manner of koni yellows, strano springs, watts link, Brembo 4 piston caliper in front, all new bushing/balljoints, all the other usual suspension components. Ive decided a goal to get into AIX can be attainable because I am not too far off of the mid ohio track record according to their website. Mainly what i would like to know is:
What kind of power and weight does most of the competition have?

I have read the CMC/AI/AIX rules, but still have a few questions.

What is considered a NASA legal cage for AIX. Is a 6 or 8 pt sufficient?

I realize i would gut the interior, but I don't know if the fixed back corbeau seat I have is legal, I assume it has to be a metal type seat?

On the website regarding rules, you MAY use lexan for front windshield and rear window. By the cars ive seem I assume lexan is REQUIRED front and rear?

I see how CMC and AI are required to run toyo tires, is AIX open to any tire?

Thanks for any and all help.

To add to the previous suggestions:
How much experience do you have "on track" ?
Have you been to NASA events to watch the racing and check out the race cars and talk to racers ?
Do you know how long it may take you to get your racing license ? It varies wildly depending on track experience, but you need to go through the HPDE progression of 1-4 with NASA , unless you have a race license from another sanctioning body.

I would suggest you don't make any changes or decisions on a race class until you are intimately familiar with the cars of each class, modifications needed, maintenance required to run a couple seasons, expenses, number of racers per class, and get to know the racers in the various classes.

Best of luck

Im aware of what it takes to get a license. Ive been participating in HPDEs for 3 years, autocross for about 5. I was going to get my competition license this year but didnt make it to the last event. Maintenance, car prep, expenses of car maintenance are no problem. i just needed to get a better understanding of what these cars actually are and how theyre setup. Before this thread i had no idea AIX cars were making as much power as they are.
