Probably easier to just link you to the rules, which can be found on the Oregon Region website.

Basically, it's similiar to a World Challenge format, except that it accomodates MANY years of cars. One messed up thing about it is the weight factoring for the cars, which is based on displacement and the number of valves an engine has (rotaries have a seperate factoring)... For my S14 (4-valve), the rules require that I weigh 1.1lbs per cc + 180lbs, which equates to about 2820lbs. Hard to compete with Acura Integras and the like at that weight. The penalty for multi-valves is abnornally steep, however, and they are looking into stabilizing the class rules to be more balanced.
If the SCCA really wants to get in the game, they'd institute a true World Challenge format for Club racing, but that may be a ways off, so for now, this is the next best thing!
I'll post some pics after the July 5-7th Regional race at Portland so you can better see what it's all about!
Good luck, and thanks for the info on the diff... My 4.37s have the Nismo racing diff, but my 4.08s have a Viscous type. We'll have to see how it will work...
