    I noticed they took out the age restrictions. Does this mean I may convert my Pinto to ST Whatever??

    No, it means you can run your IT Whatever Pinto in STL, as long as you conform to all applicable IT specs. But the moment you consider "converting" your Pinto to STL specs, it's aged-out and no longer legal for STL. Unless there's a 1985 Pinto I don't know about...

    Last year of the Pinto was 1980, don't ask how I know such things.....

    I believe that the removal of the year requirement was an oversight. I am going to look into that.

    Chris, no oversight, it's in the August Fastrack proposal. - GA

    The Age restriction is still in there;

    A. P urpose

    Vehicles used in the series
    this category must be identifiable with the vehicles offered for sale to the public and available

    through the manufacturer’s normal distribution channels in the US. The intent of these rules is to allow older World Challenge


    cars to compete in Club Racing with minimal modifications and allow new cars to be built to the same spec as well.


    The


    intent of this category is to allow a level of preparation for cars similar to that of World Challenge cars.


    No model years older

    than 1985 will be permitted


    eligible, except that cars from model runs began before 1985 are permitted eligible (e.g., if a

    model was produced in 1983-1988, the 1983 and 1984 cars are permitted




    B. Eligibility


    Vehicles meeting one of the following criterion criteria may compete in the Super Touring category;:


    ·


    1985 and newer cars built specifically under these ST rules

    ·


    1990 and newer World Challenge cars, using the vehicle’s most recent VTS sheet, (GT cars in STO and Touring cars

    in STU.)


    Note: Competitors are responsible for providing the up-to-date VTS. Only those current and ex-World Challenge cars


    that can produce a Pro Racing VTS sheet are eligible under these preparation rules. Items not listed on the World


    Challenge VTS sheets must comply with all the remaining Super Touring rules. All cars racing with a World Challenge


    VTS sheet must compete on the specified World Challenge


    spec tire. Maximum tire size is 305/35 for STO and 235/40


    for STU.


    ·


    GCR listed IT cars, 1985 and newer, under their current IT specifications. Cars shall compete as follows: 3001cc and

    above are eligible for STO.


    2001cc through 3000cc and below are eligible for STU. Cars 2000cc and below are eligible


    for STL.


    Note: While IT cars may not be competitive in the ST category, competition within


    their inclusion in the category will

    allow regional competitors to experience a


    participate in national events.

    ·


    Spec Miata cars completely conforming to Spec Miata class specifications are eligible for STL.

    Greg,

    According to this it looks like you can't run an IT car older than '85, even if it's just built to IT specs.

    In fact, it looks like ST aging is a bit more open. For example, the last year of the 1st gen RX7 was a 1985 m/y. The way I read it, is that you could build an ST car out of a 1978 tub.

    GCR listed IT cars, 1985 and newer, under their current IT specifications.
