OK OK
So I do hate to sound like a broken record or tape rewind gone astray, but
what
"about the sportscars" that are 2 seaters?
Look at the cars not allowed to run & have fun in the ST classes:
MR2's, RX7s, Corvettes, Triumphs,Mustangs, etc.
Do Miatas qualify as they do have a back seat?
I agree with the ST concept I just want to see eligible vehicle group
expanded.

ps most of cars in our local ST like classes are 2 seaters & we'll be
looking at what happens at Nationals with re: to our own classes.
