... I realize I'm taking the foolish approach by deciding to campaign my "new" 2001 Z28 in FS. Especially because the 2014 FS National Champion not only lives and competes in my region, but he is a friend of ours. Oh, and his new 1LE is spectacular!
However, the car I bought has the DA Konis and Strano front bar already. I'm having a hard time deciding on tires for the OEM 16x8 wheels. I know the new allowance will permit a 17x8. Should I be looking down that road? Then I have also heard through the grapevine that someone (Casey something?) ran the SS 17x9 wheels on a non-SS car that didn't have the full SS update/backdate package and he wasn't protested. Which wheel/tire route do those of you in the know suggest for an F Street Category effort? So you know the (probable lack of) seriousness of my effort: I can't make Nationals due to the fact I'm a full-time teacher and part-time Principal in NJ, and the big event has taken place on my first week of school all but one of the 17 years I have been an educator. I run one, maybe two National events a year (Tours or Pros). Otherwise, I am blessed with fantastic local competition that would rival national events in other parts of the country. Any input is greatly appreciated. |

Remember, update/backdate in stock class has to also include the trim parts, so if the dash has a special emblem on it, you have to add that, too.

Its the little things like this that really bug me about the SCCA. The nit-picking drove me away and I will only autocross with local clubs now. I think the SS/WS6 cars also had a larger front sway bar, the springs were the same as the base V8 cars unless you had the eibach package from SLP. Its been a while since I looked it up, so I could be completely wrong. I have 2 sets of SS wheels and an OEM spoiler if you think about making the conversion. |

I'm guessing it's little nitpicking crap rules even in the full blown road racing classes that drives many into the open, waiting, arms of NASA as well.
