The SCCA is pretty fond of 1.5x.095 for cars up to about 2300 lbs in Club Racing. Solo/auto-x is a different rules animal altogether.

Maybe you'll be OK, but I'd check again.

Planning a car based on a BTM cheetah (replica body) with modern stuff hiding underneath. Mostly going to be a street/autoX car but I want to be able to get some track time and do some open road events and maybe the local hillclimb. I think this is going to end up being a heavy little car the way I am overbuilding everything but I am too green to know where I can cut the weight safely. I dont think I will make anywhere near 2300lbs now that I am adding things up
Be a while before I start buying parts and get started though so maybe by then I will know more by then.
Thanks as always.
