Default Paging Shane Hamel

Noticed you are signed up for the autox event on April 22. Since it looks like we might be the only Audi drivers, wanted to meet up with you there so we can defend against the haters together.

Default hey thats me

I'd definately like to meet up with you there. I've been doing the BMW events for a few years now. Have you been to any before? Do you know if we are in the same class?

Default That's the $20,000 question.

The RS4 does not appear on any of the charts, so I think they might group me with the S4 (which would be great for me!).

I have done my fair share of autoxing, but not with the BMW CCA, so I probably won't know anyone.

My buddy is comng with his G35 (rookie). We were planning on driving from Quincy Sat afternoon and staying at a hotel nearby, but everything is booked. So we may drive from Quicny Sun am unless I can find something in the next few days. Being the only two Audi's, I'm sure we'll see each other. I'm going to show up pretty early since my friend has never done anything like this before and I want him to have plenty of time to feel comfortable.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Default If both of you guys are show room stock / street tires, you'll be in the same run group.

BWMcca takes all "Non-Bmw's" and puts them into 6 classes.

Class G Stock, street tires
Class H Stock, R compound tires
Class I Non-stock, street tires, SCCA Street Modified or Street Prepared classes
Class L Non-stock, street tires, SCCA Street Touring classes
Class J Non-stock, R compound tires
Class M Modified or race cars


Then they apply the scca pax modifiers on everyones times to determine class winners.

So, if you're RS4 is stock / Street tire you'll be in G, with everyone else who is stock / street tire, be they Honda, Audi, Subi, etc.

I'm going to be in L with my Mazdaspeed.

They use the SCCA rulebook to determine whether you fall into Touring, pepared, modified, etc.

Default Btw, I've found a few posts talking about the RS4 being in SSCA AS. So that'd be your pax modifier.

Man, that's not fair to the S4's....

Default Yes G you are right

I only went to 2 events, one in the Audi and one in my mk1 Rabbit. I don't think I met you last year. Driving the Mazda this year? I'll try to remember to say hi to you.

Default Yep, Orange Mazdaspeed. What do you think you'll bring? Audi again?

I have a buddy with a stock '05 S4 who might join me for a few events this year....
