We've got a guy registered in a Challenger Hellcat. If he shows up, you guys can compete for who can generate the most smoke with the least speed.

I saw the new classes. My new class (S0) will be itty bitty as those are mostly exotics/super cars. They are all 9.9lb/hp or better with gobs of torque, except lowly me. I suspect I will rack up many "thanks for participating" and default podium (3rd place of 3 cars) stickers.

Either way, I'm excited about the new season as I was tickled pink with the new alignment setup at the Endurocross. Had I been a little less zealous in the turnarounds I might have been a contenda'.

You underestimate the strength of German engineering and driver skill. Autocross is a lot more than just horsepower and torque.

Looks like the new classing is giving us pretty well-rounded classes for this event so far. I like it!

Surely that supercharged 707hp Challenger Hellcat is not correctly classed in S3? I would "assume" that it should be in S1 (AS) with the likes of the Camaro ZL1's and Mustang GT500's.

Except M1, no entries, maybe I should bump myself up to be assured of an easy first place sticker. Of course competition is the real fun.
