I musta missed it: what's SM5? Is that the MX5 Cup cars? If not, what's the ruleset?SM5 seems cool - good to have a unified ruleset.
Yes, SM5 is Spec MX-5 (Cup cars). You didn't "miss it". Due to an editing error (mine), the rule set was omitted. As soon as the updated Recommended Rule Changes are posted (here: http://www.scca.com/contentpage.aspx?content=44), you will be able to read them.I musta missed it: what's SM5?

Not quite open - any DOT P225/45ZR17.Thanks, Dave. I assume open tires (same rules as in STU)? Or are we gonna try to stuff them into Toyos?
Regardless, I'm glad the Club is not going to try to put the new chassis in Spec Miata; that would be a mess.

Yes, SM5 (if approved by the BoD the first weekend of December) will be regional only. This is in line with the recent BoD policy that any new National classes will only get that status by satisfying the 2.5 rule in regional racing.So help me out here, were there only 2 more classes added for 2011? Why not more, when you water down the competition, may as well throw the whole ocean at it.....
STL is apparently Regional only---is SM5 also Regional only?
