This is good information! I've been trying to hook up with a few local SCCA folks and I have been to watch races, very enjoyable. I'd just never looked into classifications for cars I own but it appears I wouldn't be able to race them maninly due to money. The GT classes sound very expensive.

And, the showroom stock classes, from what I can tell, aren't. Plus, the cars have a specific lifetime (I could be wrong) but it looks like to race say a 3 series you'd have a relatively new one, big bucks, converted to a race car, big bucks, that cannot be used for anything else. Super production, again, sounds like my GT40 just gets converted to a track only car which isn't too appealing for me.

Spec Miata seems affordable for me and I am going to look into that more.
