Does anyone know why i was put into the SM class? I have a 99 civic ex. All i have done is:
Lowered and tokico blue shocks
intake
header
catback
azenis 205/50/r15
both top sturt bars
rear tie bar

 

Carbon Fiber hood bumped you to SM, it is not legal in SP or STS.

 

The info in your question would put you in STS. The info in your sig, Oem CF hood, puts you in SM. Put the factory steel hood back on and you can run STS.

 

really b/c someone else told me its b/c of my header

 

i didn't even think about my hood. but hold on they didn't even see my hood b/c the told me sm when i went to talk to them and register. i didn't say anything about my hood.

 

Yes, really.

 

I'm in the same boat, d00d (well, I have a lightweight flywheel, too). Lightweight body panels are lightweight body panels no matter how you slice it.

It may seem minor, but if it gets down to the nitty gritty between you and another driver, you'll be the guy with a 30 lb weight reduction on your front end. Suddenly, you have the advantage.

 

but like i said they didnt see it and i didnt say anything about it.

 

If you dont believe them, go buy a rulebook

 

Its not that i dont belive anyone i just want to know why. Could the header or any of my other mods do it?

i never said it wasnt the carbon hood i just said i didnt tell them ihave a carbon hood

 

The stuff you listed is all legal in STS so I don't know why they put you in SM. For STS you need the stock cat and flywheel too. Could someone have known you had the hood even though you did not mention it? Is it painted body color or left in CF black?

I was classing cars once at an event and had someone in a VW Fox say his car was basically stock and I was going to put him in HS until his friend said "What about the turbo?". That was before SM so he went from HS to EP, on 13" snow tires.

 

i have stock cat and flywheel. Its black carbon but like i said they didnt even see it. i guess i just have to run in SM. all the other cars that were in SM were like wrxs and crap.

how can it bump me up if they dont know about it ?

 

Dont assume they didnt.

 

every mod you listed in your first post is STS legal. So either they did know, or they just happened to mistakenly place you in the right class.

 

Could someone have seen your car when you were driving into the parking lot? Ya think, maybe?

 

i mean someone might have seen it but how would they know that i was the person driving i only said i ahve a civic with this done to it: bla bla bla.

Ok u just made SM

 

I'm not sure why you're upset about being placed in the correct class?

 

its not that im upset i just wondered why i mean its no big deal just asking a question.

 

Don't worry about it, whether you are in STS or SM you are likely to be far behind the fast drivers, so just concentrate on your driving and worry about classification later.

 

y u think im slow? not saying im not b/c im new to it but y?

He is inferring from your post that you're pretty new to autocrossing based on your question about classing. Thats why he said to work on the driver because thats more important than what class you are in. Oh, and please spell out your words (why not y, you not u, because not b/c, etc).
