I believe he is using spacers to increase the rear track and get better grip. Would this not bump him into a modified class? He is a veteran auto-xer and consistently fastest in this class, in fact, faster than Boxster S models in S-02 class. I read the auto-x rules but this isn't specifically addressed. What do you guys think? I want to make sure there is an even playing field. Thanks for any insight given.

If spacers are not prohibited in your rules then he is running legally. The wider track might result in a .0005 second advantage on a 30 sec AX course. The rest is driver skill. Arrange a ride in his right seat to see where the differences lie.
Spacers are not allowed in SCCA Showroom stock but are allowed with limitations in PCA Zone 8 and I believe national Parade rules as well.
