Doing my first autocross this weekend. What Class do I enter into (it is a SCCA Solo event in Milwaukee, WI). Only Mods are Hotchkis subframe connectors, CAI Intake and catback exhaust. I am thinking Street Touring Unlimited. I was told I might have to run Street Super Modified? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The sub-frame connectors would put you in a prepared class. Autocross mods can be tricky. You should be fine in STU. Being that this is your first event, I don't think you will have anyone protest.

Agreed.. No one will mind you running in STU.

If all else fails run CAM

Ask to run in the novice version of the class (NSTU). I did that at my first event. I think you can do it for your first year. Since it's your first event, don't worry too much about what class you're in. I think it's important not to compare yourself to others too much, but to compare yourself to your previous time. That's what I did and I continuously improved (and even took 3rd in the novice class!). Definitely ask for an instructor to ride with you, they can really teach you a lot.

Good point Steve! Nice to have a fall back class. I'm thinking of getting some CAM letters made for next season.
