The way out is through
Default Kevin... this is your fair warning.

Because you beat everyone but MikeK and Dean in PAX on Sunday, I will protest your DSP violations at the next event if they're not corrected.

1st, as you know, the ALK is illegal. If it's not replaced w/ a legal alternative or reverted back to stock, you need to register in Modified or Street Unlimited.

2nd, I believe the rear-diff-subframe locking bolts you have are illegal as well.
Quote:
15.8D. Differential mount bushings may be replaced, but must attach in the factory location(s) without additional modification or changes. Differential position may not be changed. The amount of metal in a replacement bushing may not be increased relative to the amount of metal found in a standard bushing for the particular application. Solid metal bushings are specifically prohibited.
The locking bolts effectively lock out the compliance of the subframe bushings.

3rd, I can't find anything that allows a lightened flywheel in the rules. The rules allow for a modified clutch, but the only thing I can find regarding lightened parts allows for lightened crank and accessory pulleys. I believe your lightened flywheel may be illegal.

Finally, you're also going to need to put your stock brakes back on, as SP rules only allow the replacement of the rotors if they're the same dimensions, and calipers aren't allowed to be replaced.

Quote:
13.6 BRAKES
A. The make and material of brake linings may be changed.
B. Substitution of clutch and brake hydraulic lines with solid metal or braided metal is allowed on all cars manufactured before model year 1992.
C. Alternate brake bleeder fittings such as “Speedbleeders” are permitted. They may serve no other purose.

15.6 BRAKES
Vehicles may only exceed the allowances of 13.6 as specified herein.
A. Any brake line, single or dual master cylinder, vacuum brake booster, or brake proportioning valves may be used. This does not allow multiple separate cylinders, but does allow for any single, dual-circuit cylinder. “Safety brakers” and units such as the “Brake Guard System” are permitted. ABS braking systems may be disabled, but not removed; brake boosters may be removed or added. Air ducts may be fitted to the brakes, provided that they extend in a forward direction only, and that no changes are made in the body/structure for their use. They may serve no other purpose. Backing plates and dirt shields may be modified or removed.
B. Cross-drilled and/or slotted brake rotors may be used, provided the replacement rotors have the same dimensions as standard rotors and are of a standard-type construction and of ferrous metallic material. This does not permit the use of a two-piece hat/rotor assembly unless the standard configuration is two-piece.
I don't want to be a dick, but if you're going to be running competatively, you need to be legal. I'm a little miffed that you glossed over the ALK and brake violations and went to DSP right before the event w/o giving your competition time to check up on it. You specfically knew about the ALK issue and you knew the only reason people weren't going to protest you was because we all know how uncompetative you'd be in SM where you said you were going to run. The last minute switch to DSP reeks of un-sportsman like conduct to me.

So, fix your issues before WMCA or class your car properly.
