SCCA is considering adding Pro Touring classes.

very cool...mite make me get into the SCCA part more if they do..

Our local region (Kentucky, based in Louisville) created a run-what-you-brung class called Street Tire Open (STO). The only rules (beyond the standard safety stuff that applies to every class) is it must be a series produced vehicle and be running on street tires (treadwear 140+). EVERYTHING else is allowed.



The only tradeoff is we PAX it the same as AM (1.0).

It has been a fantastic success. It's often our largest class, bringing as many as a dozen cars to each event. It's competitive, too. The tire restriction really levels the playing field.

Our STO class actually started as Street Touring Fully Unlimited (STFU). We actually ran two events with that class name before more adult heads prevailed, but the class was an attempt to get more participation and eliminate rules anxiety for newcomers, as well as give people a place to play with the cars they built for themselves instead of the rulebook.

You may want to get a few of your PT friends together and head to a membership meeting for your local region and find out if they have something like it. If they don't, ask them if they'll create it for an event or two to try it out, and then get the word out. The local regions are not bound by the SCCA's National Classes, they're free to do whatever they want at their events.
