Misery Bay Region SCCA

I was wondering if anybody does solo events in this region? June 26th will be my first event and I cant wait. Could someone tell me what class I would be in, I have a 09/TC with GMS1, K&N Thyphoon Intake and my tires are Hankook Ventus V12 225/40R18. Also any ideas on what can I do suspension wise with out braking the bank?

I used to run with those guys back in the day (haven't run an event with them since ~06 or so). You should be classed in STX. Don't touch the suspension yet, car is extremely capable out of the box. My car has gotten an FTD and a 3 PAX wins locally without any suspension mods whatsoever.

No reason to wait until the 26th of June, travel a bit south to Pittsburgh, we have events every weekend, sometimes 2.

I go to most NHSCC events in my Cobalt in DS or STX depending on whether I feel like changing tires or not, and I co-drive a Z06 at all the steelcities events this year. I normally do TT's and hillclimbs, but I decided to autocross for this year.
