So that's getting me a clean 1:44.2xx after only a few laps. Sound reasonable?
Any reason we're not maxing out B class? I'm currently B-445, a turbo setup gives us 28 more hp and still some wiggle room for race brakes, chassis stiffening, or even more power upgrades.
Great thing about these races is it "forces" you to tune and then race a car for 30-40 laps, leaving you with a very competitive car for similar courses in the campaign. I'd have to fiddle with this onea bit since it's between C and B.
Edit: to put things in perspective, Flier with a B-500 NA is getting 1:37.2xx, albeit dirty.

10:30pm est tonight?
My B-class NA is pretty badass, it's a nice little hot-lap car(multiple top 200s) and if I don't get smashed too many times it can dominate some lobbies. FYI it runs a centrifugal s/c at about 230hp or so, 2200lbs too I believe. Tuned to my driving style.
I'll make this spec miata tonight and I should be on to race

edit: is stock size 14" or 15"? Cause I never changed that. If you have a slightly heavier wheel along with 1" bigger, that might make up for a few points, not 7 though. Dunno what's happening there. No chassis reinforcements, right? I know a cage takes away a point, since they're so heavy.

Whoops, still had an street oil cooler setup giving me +3hp, for a whopping 5 class points.
Again, a good way to avoid mistakes like this (although I freely admit it was mine) is to make sure to list hp, torque, weight, and class limits. That way anything like 14" rims or oil coolers don't get mistakenly installed.
