BS= B Stock

It is the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) class for a lightly modified RX-8. Other cars in B Stock would be things like
BMW E36 M3s
BMW 330 with ZHP
Mazdaspeed Miata
Jaguar E Type
350Z
Toyota MR2 Turbo


SCCA stock classes allow a few mods, for example:
R compound tires
any shock that uses the same mounting position
exhaust from the cat back
any air filter material using the stock box
front sway bar

It's been a great car to autocross although I might retire it for a bit and save it for the big track. I have a BMW lease car that I also like to autocross and since it is a lease car, I can really beat on it.

Unfortunately, my insurance has added a exclusion that excludes coverage for autocross and I have to get the insurance thing sorted before i go back out.

Yes that's the lake geneva speedway.

Thanks, I did pretty well and received a trophy for second place in B Stock which was combined with C stock. We only had four people in the combined class but my time was quite respectable. We had 8 runs and I improved my runs throughout the day and I felt like I didn't leave too many seconds out on the course. Some more info on the event here:
