I am planning to build a car for SPL competition next year. I live in the Vancouver area and am wondering what classes are popular... Looking at the rules I don't think I can afford to be competitive in super street or above.

Mainly what I'm wondering is, does anyone even run street max? In terms of street A-B-C what's the competition like in Vancouver? How many people show up per class at the bigger shows?

Thanks.

Also, does any other SPL league run out here often? IASCA SPL maybe?

street A and B are very very popular!!! street C has some ppl oin it, but not really anyone to competitive that i know of!!! but i could be wrong... [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

street Max is a neat class... i'd look into that class.... but most people use walls in there vehciles! LOL... but good luck! welcome aboard, and hopefully we get to see ya at shows this year! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Cool... thanks for the input. This has got to be my daily driver so a wall is pretty much out, unless I break down and kinda lose my sanity.

Also, something that you'd actually drive around with appeals to me... sure a concrete dash and lexan windows is cool in a way but who's surprised when it's loud?

i like the name...just don't keep it for too long. ahh yes, that was me last year...the "newbee", but soon enough i was right into it and SPLin' like crazy.

i started off in street b (as most average people do) and soon found out that there is a wide gap between the everday competitors and hardcore competitors. it's hard to keep a vehicle as a "nice" daily driver and still compete at the high levels - but it still is possible.

my reccomendation would be to go into a street max, it's fun, creative and usually not too much competition to worry about.

Me thinks the Newbee will do some damage in the Street catagory..


Go in the most competitive class there is... You are going to do great! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Hmmm, sounds familiar. I started off the season last year with about 134 on the TL with my 12s, and look where I am now! [img]smile.gif[/img] Street A sometimes, Street B most of the time, Street C hardly ever, are stacked classes with big competitors. Start off in Street Max where there are not too many competitors where you can gain some knowledge and confidence, and then go from there, maybe even move down classes, as street classes are decently cheap and very competitive.
