Some of the things that really bother me about SCCA is the way they classify cars. "cars with about equal HP, less weight and a LSD" in the same class. I bought my car to enjoy it. And I like to AutoX. To me the major problem is that too many of the cars in G-Stock/F-Stock D-Stock or whatever heavily favor only 1-3 cars. Any other car being a waste of time. I'm a competitive ******* and I like to win. I try really hard and it's very demoralizing to have some punk who has never done an AutoX before come out and run almost the same time as you because he has "THE CAR" i.e. Integra Type-R.
I know that SCCA cannot overcome this and still be fair. But it does seem that they bias the classes for cars that can run identical times (and put them in different classes)
I like my car, but it can't handle quite as well as I might wish. My desire to improve it's street capabilities (and have it reflected in the AutoX) is very strong.(basically add the things ford forgot, stronger clutch/tranny/quaife.) Nothing else I'm happy with the rest. Unfortunately doing this would completely eliminate me from ever acquiring a trophy in a given class.
Any suggestions on what you guys would do? I've basically resigned myself to watching the other guy (usually a mediocre driver) walk away with a trophy.
