SCCA is considering adding Pro Touring classes.

[SSLance]

I don't need to be attracted...as I'm already regularly attending SCCA autocrosses in my outmatched pro-touringish car. I run in Street Modified mainly because of my engine swap, which pits me against mostly Evos if anything at all in our Region, and SM's PAX sucks as well when compared to the rest of the cars in the events. The thought of an actual pro-touring class that pits me directly against other cars like mine would be great. I'm curious what the rule set is that your local Region uses for it's PT cars? Is there a year model restriction? Full interiors required? Street tires (200TW)? etc etc? What PAX Quantifier do your PT cars get if any?

I'd like to see it be street legal body on frame cars, rear wheel drive, full interiors, any model year, manufacturer specific engine and trans (GM car needs a GM engine and trans), and similar suspensions but different mounting points allowed (live rear axle remains live rear axle).

We've had a few "muscle cars" come out in the last year, but usually only for an event or two, then they disappear again. I'm certain not having anything else to run against is a drawback as well as not running as well as they would have liked. Maybe if they'd have something else to run competitively against, they'd stick around long enough to make their cars better and have more fun trying to beat the next guy instead of just wearing out tires racing against a clock with nothing to compare it too.
