East Tennessee Region SCCA

I am planning on running some events this year. I have recently acquired a 2012 Fiat 500. It is the 100hp version (not the Abarth Turbo). It is 4 cyl. front wheel drive running on street tires. What class would this be in? I will be running as a Novice, so I will have an N somewhere on the car as well. Also, how do I know what numbers are available to choose from? I can have my wife cut my Magnetic Vinyl letters on her machine if it will do 1/8" material. So what do they need to look like?

8" numbers
4" Classification (ie. NST)

Please advise,
Erik

Most likely it's in HS (H-Street). As far as numbers/letters, choose a color that contrasts well with the color of the car. Most use blue painters tape, which is fine, assuming the letters/numbers are the minimum heights

So I can Pick any number?

Unfortunately a stock Fiat 500 is not allowed due to rollover risk. If the car is lowered, you should be ok but our tech inspectors will probably need to take some measurements just to be sure.

To answer your question about numbers, when you register you will have numbers to choose from that aren't already taken. Basically, you choose your number from the ones that are available.

Welcome and hope to see you out soon!

Well that's a bummer... I bought this thing to be a daily driver and autocross car. How much would it have to be lowered? I also have a 2001 Carrera that I could run but I need some new rear tires first. Was hoping to get started cheap in the Fiat and work my way up to the Porsche...

Looking at the dimensions on the car, it looks like you would have to lower it about 4-5 inches, or increase the track width. The formula is your average track width (measured at the center of the tire) must be greater than or equal to the height. Therefore, a 3" drop might be sufficient with wider wheels and tires.

Take a look at page 34 in the 2019 SCCA Solo Rulebook.

Welcome! Hope you figure it out.
