Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA Autocross for rollover risk

[rooSTer]

The Ford Fiesta ST meets the Rollover Potential Guidelines in 3.1. The 2011+ non-ST Fiesta models do not meet the requirements and are to be removed from the HS listing.

If owners install the Ford Racing FR-3 lowering springs and matched damper kit the basic Fiesta IS ALLOWED to participate. I personally have done this to my Then new 11 Fiesta hatchback.
I have never felt that the Fiesta was unstable with this kit. And, i will also say that i have spun the car out oncourse during both wet and dry events. It never felt like it would flip over. This needed to be said! The Fiesta can be a fun starter car for learning to autox.

The Corvair is still legal to compete! If you're older you'll understand. Do you know who Ralph Nadar is?

Hmm. This may have to be researched some more by the original article.

If you have 2-wheeling going on, someone has tricked more than Traction Control.

Because of a violation like this, everyone else suffers...

Corvair? Wow, Dad had to let his burn down on the side of the road because of an oil leak... LOONG time ago...on a freeway far, far away...

Ralph Nader was epic for his ability to advocate for a cause he was convinced was worth campaigning for
