I was looking at NASA, as I run SCCA and SARRC events now.

The thing that is appealing to me about NASA, yet on the other hand.. intimidating... Is the car classification.
MAN you need an excel spreadsheet and a slide rule to figure it all out.

You can do ANYTHING to the car..... for a point penalty. IE class bump.

But it got really hairy when you are looking at things like.. removed glove box for X points, and running slicks X wide for Z points.. and removed headliner for .5X points. And used a undertray for Z points.
Oh wait I dynoed ABC HP. And th Car weighs XYZ pounds.. so Im in Class sdkjh. But I have slicks.. so Im in something else.

I think if you have a engineer to help figure your class youre ok.
And I would assume they do have people who will assist with that, because it was wild... the breadth of the rules for classing a car.

I theorise you could have a Chevy Chevette.. with a Turbocharged, small block and proper safety equipment, and slicks.. and wings.. and. Wait. The Suzuki Escudo from Gran Tourismo 2. Against a modded AC Cobra, if the classification ended up the same.

It was pretty wild the ability to balance cars.
I was thinking my ITA RX-7 with a peripheral ported 20B, and full undertray, with slicks, and a nice widebody kit, with wing.. and there is a class for it.
Not simply SPO. Like SCCA.

SPO in SCCA is over I think 2.5 Liters. BUT.. you could run up against a GT1 corvette from Chevy, with a twin turbo setup, and be in a chevette with a small block. And thats it.
OR.
ANYTHING you want. A stationwagon with a 12 Cylinder Rolls Merlin engine in back.

Not Very balanced. NASA I think has worked up a system to balance the cars more evenly. On paper. If you can figure it out.
