What denotes the difference between Stock, Modified, and Custom? Any SCC members or anyone in the know mind explaining this?

Stock is a stock car with close to no mods.....Mod car is like daniels car... and custom car custom paint ,body panels, and thing like that ,

6 Wing
7 Non stock hood

I've got the GM splash guards, but they're painted Carbon Flash (something GM should've offered in the first place in my opinion). Guess that'll stick me under "modified"?

Seeing as they're bolt-on, may just remove 'em and enter it as "stock" so I'm not competing against folks who've been actually buying pricey mods.

I don't think they will put you in another class....

It's been a few years since I participated in WSCC shows, but I've been in 34 of them and judged 30 of them. If they are enforcing the rules properly, ANY modification puts you in modifies class. If you show in stack class with any modifications a judge may deduct points.

To the OP, stock is usually not quite as competitive as modified, because there are usually fewer cars in stock. WSCC shows are basically a car detailing contest and cleanliness is the most important thing. You will see people cleaning under their hoods with q-tips, seriously. Typically the difference between first and second place is a fingerprint on a window. It may sound silly, but it's quite a sight to see 100+ Corvettes in one place cleaned to this level.

Try PMing doje, he is a member here and an officer in the WSCC, Corvette Spectacular is his home club's show. He could give you the final word on how the rules are currently being enforced. Best of luck in the show.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm none too worried about points or winning, and I'm not a weekend waxer so I doubt I'd beat some of the garage queens likely to be entered in the 'stock' class. I'll likely just enter it in that class and take any point deductions they care to throw at me.

I'll honestly just be happy to have an entry. My '01 was never in the shape I wanted it to be in (especially after a local body shop eff'd up the paint), so I never entered it before it got totaled. It'll be fun to show off the Stingray, regardless of whether I get any sort of prize.

I need to message up doje anyways, I had a few q's about the club that I figure he'd be the right guy to ask.

Why not just do show and shine ? Then you don't have to worry at all.

That's a good option. Hood stays closed, much less work.

... good point. Thinking too much about it!
