Default Spec boxster in SCCA class-HELP

Quick question. What class in the SCCA would a spec boxster run? I have looked online and did a search with nothing.

Thanks,

Scott

ITR, you would need the stock ( metal ) top to be 100% legal.

Thanks the car I am looking at weights 2650 with driver with a fiberglass top. The car is set up to the rules for NASA, PCA, POC. So I would have to add weight and a top to run in ITR or this there another class BSR/SPBOX cars are running in the SCCA?

Thanks again for the help,

Scott

Scott,

Can't recall, you may want to check SCCA rules re. if you need a metal oem top vs. fiberglass top + arm restraints.

Looks like to me with the SCCA rules it would be ITR, GT2 or GT3? Sound right? Someone here must race their BSR with SCCA.

Thanks again,

Scott

Scott,

Look at the new rules for STU if you are looking for a National Class.

The cars actually have quite a few issues to be IT compliant:
-Aftermarket flywheel
-Additional radiator
-Optional fiberglass top
-GT3 ADJUSTABLE A-ARMS
Remember when reading the GCR: "If it doesn't say you can, then you can't"

It appears to be compliant in Super Touring STU at 2750. I am getting ready to read the new Super Touring rules again, so I will make sure there are no odd changes on the horizon.

I believe the OEM fuel tank is OK in super touring assuming that it is entirely between the axle center lines and between the frame rails... but you would need a fire system.

Personally I don't care that they are not compliant in IT, it's a regional category, so hopefully some of the regions are letting the cars run as is! That is potentially within the scope of their control.

Some (most?) regions are running ITE (I T Everything else) as a catch-all. I would think if nothing else an SPBOX could find a home there. But again, this is not national racing, so there is no Runoffs potential.

Ryan,

Thanks again for the email and the post. Hopefully this will answer this question of others with BRS/SPBOX cars as well.

Thanks again,
Scott
