Guest Anonymous Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 So this iks my question. I am interested in getting started in SCCA Club racing and Solo 1 racing. I have been Autocrossing the past year with my 87' CRX HF which isn't quite fast enough for me . SO what I am interested in doing is purchasing a datsun Z car of some type for fairly cheap and building it up for racing. I would like to know what classification the Z car is in for the Club racing and how haveing a V8 or a Turbo effects that. Also in you opinion how competetive would a Z car be? Well thanks in advance for any advice you might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 hey, I recomend ya contact your closest or closest big scca club, here's the SCCA web site http://www.scca.org enjoy the ride JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 club racing and solo are very different. different classes and all... having a v8 Z makes it a SPO class and it would be tough to beat a 510! thats a true race car....with a v8 street car. since your in seattle check out www.icscc.com as well its a local club for road racing. buy a scca membership and then buy a GCR this is the general competition rules for car classifications.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 So would a 510 be a better car to go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 not what i meant exactly. if you are looking to have a competitive car with other to road race with you need to stay within the rules. a Z cant have a v8 to have cars close to race with. with a v8 its racing against full tube frame transam cars- a z has no chance. for solo same idea but maybe a bit more to race with in the unlimited mod class. for road racing spec rx7 is good to start with or a ITS z or a ITA 510. all depends on your bankroll to finance the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 I am running in the Florida State Autocross Championships this weekend. At my local region, I run in Street Mod(SM). At the FSAC this weekend, I'll have to run E Mod(EM). EM is an all out race class. I'm going to get anihilated by the competition, but it should be fun. The course is set-up on the Gainesville Raceway Road course, and has some long straights and sweepers(for an autocross at least). In a few weeks, I hope to run a road course with some guys from the local Porsche club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
