There was a thread in the later part of 2004 discussing possible changes and feedback on the current classing structure.
After discussing the rules with the Autocross committee and the NCC officers, I wanted make some rules clarifications for the 2005 season.
The rules have not changed in terms of classing however the showroom stock class has some ambiguity that need further definition.
1. In stock class you are allowed non-OEM replacement parts as long as they do not enhance the performance of the car.
For example, you are allowed to replace your shocks with non-OEM say with Bilstien HD but Koni Single adjustables will not be allowed.
Another example of this would be that if you need to replace your brakes you can replace them with non-OEM pads or rotors but they cannot be race or high performance type pads.
Another example is that Short Shifters will be allowed, as they do not improve performance.
Hopefully, this will illustrate the spirit of the rules. As with the past, if you feel that you car falls into a gray area, place yourself in the higher of the class.
2. The second clarification is that you are allowed to run any size tire and wheel as long as it was available on your year, make and model. You are also allowed a variation of +/-10mm in tire width.
I hope this helps everyone understand the spirit of the rules more effectively in the future.
