sleder

I have a '90 C2 which if totally stock would be E class, however I have Big Reds, 3.8 rear wing, and 18" wheels. Does that make me E prepared or D?
I want to register correctly now, and avoid issues later.
TIA

An "E Prepared" car will run D Stock. You can check the Rules on the PCA Club Racing website.

You'll be running in D with me

Sounds like you'll have some competition: stock C2 other than wing, wheels, and brakes...

Seriously, sleder, welcome to racing (and that's coming from a near novice racer, so take it for what its worth) and nicely done working to classify your car correctly!

You'll be in D because of the wing and the brakes. But now you can spend all your money to build a competitive car - headers, chip, short R&P, wider wheels (2" over stock) full monoballs, motons, etc. Have fun!

Now I remember why I had the 78SC built the way it is...$$$$

As an option, you may consider going back to stock brakes (probably not a major loss of performance) and wing (probably no loss of performance) and race in E.

One consideration is that E is typically a much more compeititve class than D... fields are usually 2-3 times larger... so that may be a plus or a minus, but it is something you should consider before you commit too much money.

Swapping brakes is probably not that big a deal... an afternoon maybe.

You'll still have to do the exhaust, and max out the suspension to be competitive in either case. "Prepared" allows you to use adjustable camber plates... once you make that commitment, you cannot go back to E.

Or you can just remove the center wing element on the 3.8RS tail and replace it with sheet aluminum so it becomes a spoiler and not a wing as per PCA club racing rules.

Geoffrey,
Can you post a picture of what you just described?

JCP911S

Yeah.... I fingured I can get my *** kicked in G or spend another $10K and get my *** kicked in F...

Actually, D is very competitive, just not very deep. At the big race like the Glen, there are ~6 people in D that will battle for the podium, and probably 4 of which could win. Sure there may be 25 cars in E, but 1/2 of them are more than 4 seconds off the pace. As another example, GTC1 is extremely competitive, despite only have 4-5 total cars per race.

In my oppinion the stock brakes on a d class 993 work perfectly. In fact, I think the less unsprug weight is a bigger advantage than the brakes.

Just go have fun, you'll race with someone no matter what class they're in. Who cares if you're on the podium, not like you get a flag lap, trophy or interview with a hot chick.

Oh Mitch, the flag lap is so worth it! Once at Mid-Ohio I qualified 2nd in class and drove like lunatic trying to catch Mark Hupfer. Even passed 2 E cars at once going into turn 1. Took all kinds of chances. At the end of the race they pointed me into the pits. I thought "Now I'm really going to get reamed for overly aggressive driving". To my shock they handed me a Checkered Flag and told me to take my victory lap. I asked what about Hupfer & they told me "Oh, he broke on the second lap" That flag is still on my desk!
