Default What SCCA autocross class?

I am planning on running a few SCCA auto crosses (first one this weekend). I took a look at the 300+ page rule book and was blown away by all the rules. Can someone tell me what class I would run in? I have a Vortech SC on a built motor, Megan street coilovers, Moddiction (Saner) FSB, and Nitto NT01 (100 tread wear) on 17x9 square wheels.
Thanks!

but you are gonna be a new person so can probably run in "novice" which means 1 year of running with no rules!

Thanks for your help! Novice it is! I will learn the differences of each class as I go. I am planning on getting some BFG Rivals after the NT01's wear out (they came on the TSW Nurburgrings I recently bought) so maybe that will put me into a street tire class with better competition (??). Thanks again.

with different tires, assuming 140tw this year and 200tw next year you will be in TSSM......which is is just designating you have a tire modifier for your "Street" tires. The supercharger is what makes you to SSM

Just as an FYI to anyone reading this, in the national rule book there is no TSSM class. Nationally, the only street tire classes an s2000 can compete in is B-Street/A-Street and STR.
TSSM would be a local class.

But like he said, the supercharger is what pushes you to SSM.

That's right. I knew there was a reason every big boy class ran r comps and didnt just use the modifier.

Thanks to both of you. If I am reading this right, since I am in SSM, would it be OK to get a set of Hoosier A6's? I have a hook up on Hoosiers from kart road racing.

SCCA's rule book seems giant after reading NASA's.

If you want them, I have some super low run (one set as low as 6 runs, lol) 275/40 17 Hoosier A6's what would be perfect for your car and autocross gearing. I have many sets that have been sitting in bags in my dining room (LOL) since last year since I ran ST this whole season. Shoot me a PM if interested, will offer at a low price. I'll be putting them all up for sale on R&C For Sale forum in the next week also.

Good luck!

Thanks for the offer on the tires but I don't have an extra set of wheels and currently this is out of my racing budget.

I would think that 275's would be too wide for a 17x9 rim. (?)
