I've been competing in ESP for a little while now at my region's events, where scrutiny is pretty relaxed. I'm preparing for my first ProSolo national event and I have questions regarding what is legal and what isn't.

Are Pirelli PZero slicks legal? Is opening up the hole in the strut mount legal?It's been a minute since I was legal for ESP, but remember most of it. What areas of concern do you have?

I haven't done anything yet. This car is also a (somewhat) street car also so I don't want to go past the point of no return in terms of modifications for competition. It's a fun car, not a money pit. That's what my other Mustang is for. But with a national ProSolo coming up, I'm really pushing the edge on what I want to do using parts I have already that I can "borrow" from the track Mustang. The tires I've been using are scuffs from IMSA teams only because they're cheap and available. So since A7's are difficult to get, how much life can I expect from a set? 1 season, 2 seasons?As DaveW noted pure slicks are not valid ( we have quite a few guys in the Nebraska Region of SCCA who ran ESP ) and in fact they would vault you right into C Prepared. You likely need to consider jumping right into CAMC with a set of 200 TWR tires and if you have already hogged out your strut holes , that would be your best shot, imho.

So for any big event, I have a 3-step plan that helps. 1) Have fun. 2) Try not to be slowest in class. 3) If I can't acheive goal #2, see goal #1.
