Well i have completeled my second season of AX competing in SM2 i never made it to topeka for the big show but i am looking forward to it for next year.

Now my agenda for next year is to compete in AX again along with taking in Few track days and possibly some TT type events. I'm also Signed up For the SORC (Sandhills Open Road Challenge) In the 100mph class with a Tech speed of 140. So what i'm looking to do is add a few mods to the car to help me out for next year in doing the Road Coarse the the Open Road Racing. In concerns of a wing and such this is what i am thinking of doing if you would please give some input on some of the mods.

1. Doug Rippie Radiator with Engine oil cooler

2. Doug Rippie Front Brake Ducts.

3. Possible Brake upgrade. (don't wana change my class in AX though)

4. Air Extractor hood Of some kind? (suggestion welcome)

5. ACI spoiler http://www.acivette.com/popup_images/AWF740.jpg
Not sure if this spoiler will really help but i like the look or should i be looking at something diffrent?

6. Wide body kit from Corvette RB The stealth or the ACP 11 Reason i have been looking at this is currently my wheels stick out slightly in the front and rear and i feel on the Road course and possibly the Road Race this could run as a hinderance for me. (again not sure if this would change my AX class but don't think so)

7. Doug Rippe trans and Diff coolers.


My car currently is a 99Frc updated to Zo6 standings Has a ls6 382 stroker motor the suspension is all Doug Rippie coilovers along with Hotchkins sway bars. full race seats with 6 point harness, and well only a 6 point roll bar. Will one day possibly update to a full cage or get a car that has one.

Oh my wheels the black ones are 18's with Lg Motorsports Ra1 take offs 275 front and 335 rears The silver AX wheels are 17's with Kuhmo 315 front and 335 rears. I run 1/8 spacers on the front and 1/4 on the rears so i dont have any rub issues may get by without but it'd damn close


Here are a couple pics. I'm getting it repainted white over the winter since the drivers side front fender is flaking from the previous owners paint job thats why i have been thinking body kit cause of this.






So what do you think? opinions suggestions? anything i'm open for interpritation

Thanks

Brake upgrades are not a problem re. classing - Street Mod rule set is unrestricted in this area.

The wide body kit would move you to Prepared - SM rules allow modification/replacement of hood/front fenders/front & rear facias and side skirts but NOT rear fenders - those can only be flared per SP rules.

A wing can be added but must meet the 8 square foot area restriction.

Thanks for that heads up well the ACi spolier i was looking at is the small on that sticks up off the back so i should be good there.

Nice to know i'm alright on the hood then also.

As for the wide body kit guess that will get scraped no biggy just more money for racing then next year :-D

If you don't wish to mount a wing, ACP makes a 'ducktail' style rear spoiler that would help more functional. A small sfront spoiler/splitter would balance it nicely. I ran an ACI front lip for a long time and it worked well (just a bit fragile). I would top it off with a vented hood to add a bit more front downforce and stability at speed.

As Bob mentioned, brakes are unrestricted, so you would be fine there. An upgrade to wilwood front calipers (like the LGM kit) that uses the stock rotors would give you good power and great pad life, for a decent price.

Other than that, keep fresh tires on and learn to drive the heck out of it
