MSCC Autocross event #6 - Took 1st place in GP

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Well, the reason I got interested in the classifications is that you're running a 2.0L engine and by strict SCCA rules that alone would bump you to a modified class. The various SCCA classes allow a lot of engine modification, but almost always limit engine displacement increase to a 1.5mm overbore. SCCA modifieds are really out and out race cars, full out race engines with full out race chassis.
That alone is the reason I haven't been autocrossing since all my Sciroccos have 2.0L engines.
