First, I note you work for UPS. I assume you won't be bringing this bad boy
out to an autocross?

If you get serious about being more competitive in autocrossing, you might
want to consider reversing this modification. In order to hold down costs,
many mods you can do will move you out of "stock" class. ASP might be more
competitive, but then it depends on the people you run against. It's not
uncommon for a region to have a driver in AS that is faster than their ASP
class. It all depends.

But if you are new, I suggest you don't worry too much about it and focus on
enjoying the sport and getting better at it.
