How you doing everybody? I've been going to the Pagoda and Duryea events for the last 2 years and tried to make Weatherly but had to work. I will be at Duryea this weekend if the rain holds out. I love the hillclimb and I would love to try to get my feet wet next year. Now I have alot of questions.
I know I need to join the SCCA and my region (I live in Allentown) and apply for a novice permit, is there anything I am missing to start racing?
I downloaded all the rules but they are still abit confusing to read, so I have a bunch of questions. Now the car, I have a 97 civic ex, with sunroof. The motor is built stout and is turbocharged, does anyone know what class I would fit in? I would like to try to keep the car street legal but if I can't no big deal. Now depending on the class I fit in, would a 4 pt cage still be allowed? Can I keep the sunroof or do I need to seal it up? I read everything about the personal safety gear, cage padding, arm restraints and fire bottle. Is a cutoff switch required in my class, and where should it be mounted? Exhaust, any recommendations on a high flowing exhaust that meets the decibel level? Anything else anyone thinks is pertinent chime in.
I am just trying to get an idea of what i need so I could budget for it the rest of the year. Thank you for all the info that you share I need it.
Thank you,
Damien
