Now you have it. Forget the SCCA class once you've initially placed yourself. You started in M3, and because of the injectors, you're bumping from M3 to M2. And no matter what else you do to the car, you won't bump further than M2.

Yes, I'll be there in the afternoon, probably guiding the novice coursewalk.

M2 has evolved into a meat grinder of a class this year. Don't get discouraged if you get smoked. A lot of the fastest peeps in the club are in M2 this season. Makes for great competition/learning as long as your ego can take the beating :twisted:

Thank you for the help, I got there. I was changing my SCAA class (which as you said doesnt change) not bumping my FAST category. I get it now, haha sorry this is all very new to me and the more I read it the more I got confused. Appreciate it, and its an interesting class by the looks of it. I know I will get smoked, its my first rodeo so my expectations are VERY low. Im all for the competition, drives you to learn, adapt, and improve yourself.

That's nothing new. M2 has always been a bunch of hard hittin' mofos.

Don't let that bother you, just come out and have fun!

That should be the motto for M2: "May mercy be bestowed on the rest of us." :bouncy:

Glad I'm in M4, where all I have to worry about is a fast Fit, a fast VW station wagon (man, that doesn't even sound right), and... my co-driver. Making the car faster does not defend me against my co-driver. :bangwall:

I took that as "subsequent entry" and not as "afternoon session." I'll be in s1 for the morning and do fun runs in elexis' mr2 in the afternoon. I have a seprate set of numbers, aswell. Thanks!

Anyone know if Phillip is running S4 or not? Did Ben get new tires for his fiesta? Did Jason get the right motivational stickers added over his check engine light?

S4 is going to be a shootout all year (for 2nd if Phillips there)

Don't know.

Let's start a very short list: Who's NOT competing in M2 this season?
