Thanks Greg for getting this going on the forum.

For all who don't know I am one of the people on the ST Committee and I am willing to answer questions so feel free to ask away, but please don't throw stones.

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.
 
The Age restriction is still in there;

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​

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.
