Greg, Do you think this will be sorted out by Memorial Day NHMS? ... Bob Blake and I are trying to decide where to run.

.

It will be okay Glenn, if anyone questions it let me know.

Why yes I do, I am biased toward Truth, Justice and the American way.

Trying to figure out these ST rules for a friend... I am not sure which of the 3 options are legal.

1.)Can I run an ITR legal Mazda RX8 in STL at 3000lbs?
2.)Can I run a renesis engine in an ITS,A,B,or C car at 3000lbs no matter what kind of car it is?
3.)Or can I only run the RX8 as an STL car with all STL requirements like fuel cell, 17" x 7" rims ect...

If I have other options please let me know... kinda confused at this point as the onlyt thing that is clear is that "The Mazda Renesis engine is permitted at 3000 lbs"

Thanks,
Stephen

>>> 1.)Can I run an ITR legal Mazda RX8 in STL at 3000lbs?

No. ITR-spec cars are not compliant to the STCS.

>>> 2.)Can I run a renesis engine in an ITS,A,B,or C car at 3000lbs no matter what kind of car it is?

Yes, as long as it's a Mazda, with RWD adder as appropriate, and as long as it's compliant to all other open ST regs (e.g., Renesis in a first-gen RX-7 will require an FIA-spec fuel cell). It is *not* compliant under the ITCS allowance (unless there's an ITA/B/C/S compliant car that uses the Renesis).

>>> 3.)Or can I only run the RX8 as an STL car with all STL requirements like fuel cell, 17" x 7" rims ect...

Yes, at 3000 pounds plus the 2.5% RWD adder. Make sure the stock cams are within class limits.

GA

and a roll cage dash bar, correct?

Can I run in any st class as a world challenge car? That way I dont have to add a fuel cell? Needing a fuel cell eliminates any RX8 from ever participating.
