Okay i will be playing with some autox this year and i will be using some kind of crx.. idk what type yet but, to make a long story short my coupe got mashed the chick diped as soon as it all went down she has no insurance so im ****ed well ill be fixing it next year in school, but ill need something to drive while the coupes down. But back to what this is all about i would like to stay in the lowest class i can but still mod my car i just cant rock a stock crx i would like to lower it, stitch weld the frame idk the goods for handling.. but i cant find any guildlines i can go by and still be racing in a class where im not getting eaten alive..... thanks!!

 

I think you to go back and rephrase this... I dont know what you are trying to say.

 

He want's to know in what class he can seam weld his shell and win auto-x without spending any money.

 

ooooohh now i see it.

Somehow i was visualizing a wreck with a chick with no insurance.

It was like looking at one of those pictures of all the dots and finding the picture inside of it.

 

Lol

 

me too, lol, sorry got nothing, not familiar with autox but good luck with it. I can suggest you look at scca rules for auto x.

 

LOL sorry for that i should have not made it a short story.. But yea kinda what im asking lol!
And i looked threw several rules and there was nothing about the different classes. Okay does anyone have a clue whats aloud for the beginner class? Like are rims and tires, CAI, catback system, koni yellows with coilovers?

 

Also remember that to seam weld a chassis correctly you have to strip everything out of it and in some cases all the undercoating which is not very easy task .

 

I think you might want to start by going here.
http://www.sfrscca.org/solo2/faq/auto.htm

read until your eyes fall out.
Find out what groups run in your area.. A simple google search will help alot.

What we have here is many threads with new people asking the same redundant questions over, and over and this one seems to fit the bill as one of those "help me cause im too lazy to read"

In fact we just finished on just recently on roll cages...

Keep in mind there are a few sanctioning bodies, and not all operate the same rules or CCR's

Classes vary and you have to read, and find out what makes your car fit into one class or another.
Dont worry you will get eaten alive and thats ok.
You have to learn someplace right? Seat time makes for a better driver and you will need plenty of it to get good at your craft.
The homework is yours to do.
Every nooob has questions but when you dont read ,we get 500 noobs who want to stitch weld their cars when some chick hit their last car, and didnt have any insurance.
You kind of see where this is going.
Not that we dont want to help you ,but we dont necessarily spoon feed you either.
Beleive me... what you, and every noob asks has been covered many many many times over.

Good Luck

 

all that is in the ccr's you have to read!

 

Oh, and use Goole to search this site as the search here sucks for some reason.

I'm going to be nice.

Welcome to our sport. Car racing can provide a lifetime of challenges and friendships. For many of us the social interaction and friends we make are a big part of what keeps us in the sport. The friends you make are probably what's going to keep you here, because you are going to face some challenges at times and without the encouragement of your fellow racers you more than likely will give up. We all want more people to race with, and if you are not an *** you will be amazed at how people will go out of their way to help you.

I've watched a lot of people come and go, hell I've been in and out of racing a bunch of times, and I'll give you some advice to get started. First start with a stock car. Almost no one knows the sensation of taking a car to the limit, over the limit, and recovering. The worse it handles, within reason, the easier it is to make those first steps. The softer the car the more you can feel the weight transfer, and that's crucial to learning.

Second, spend your money on you. Leave the car alone and go to as many events as possible, buy as many books as possible, and seek out schools and test days. The year is just starting so your local auto-x club should be having a school/test day.

Third, when you go to an event be cool. Introduce yourself, say you are new, have an open mind. Most people are good at these basic social skills, but some people come with a know-it-all attitude that doesn't go over well. Be prepared to finish dead last, very few people are good out of the box. Your club might have a street tire beginner class. Stay there until you are winning.

Good luck and welcome again

 

Thanks for the help i have been doing plenty of searching threw forms, builds, my local events with no luck i guess i have been looking in the wrong spot. And for the difficulty i was going to fully rebuild to the T my coupe and the car i will be buying soon. I will be going to school this coming school year for auto body, so i will be using all the tools while there available.

 

Sweet thanks for directing me to scca page i found everything i need!!!

 

Just get your car working and take it to events. See what classes you like after that and gaining some seat time. Depending upon the region and club, some classes will have more participation / competition than others.

 

cant wait to start!

 

did you really just bump this? like i did?
