more questions: My car currently has an aftermarket axleback, cross drilled rotors, and a front strut bar. Which of these, if not all, have to be removed for me to compete in stock class? I read the rules, and from what I understand the axleback is ok, the other two have to go. Is that right?

lol @ the lady who registered with the smart fourtwo.
There was a lady who ran her Beetle last year and an elderly couple who ran their Prius.

From memory, you are correct, your axleback is fine but the rotors and strut bar have to go. I say leave your car how it is and compete in SI first; when/if you win that class then worry about prepping your car for a certain class.

Are they going to recommend that I compete in SI either way? Which class is less competitive, D stock or SI?

SI is less competitive since it is only for novices. While you're in SI keep an eye on the potential classes you could run in so you can figure out which you'll be the most competitive in.

So, for a modded dsm... Basiclly start in SI then get bumped to SM after a single event win?

Pretty much. There are generally 30+ cars in SI so don't expect to show up and win your first time out. It took me two events and that was after the novice school and a test n tune day.

And the remaining 20% for a solid suspension setup, good tires, and a lil power.
