4. Why isn't my [Miata | CRX | MR2 | Other 2-seater] eligible for STU?
Designing STU posed a difficult problem - include as many different cars
as possible, with very liberal preparation rules, but yet still keep the
class fair - any eligible vehicle should have a reasonable chance at
being competitive.
In autocross, a light car has an advantage over a heavy car, and a small
car has an advantage over a large car - B Stock (Miatae) quite regularly
beats ESP at National level events.
By not allowing small, light cars like CRXen and Miatae into STU, we give
the larger and heavier cars more of a fighting chance. And besides, there
are plenty of classes where the 2-seaters are already
competitive. The SCCA did not need another "spec Miata" class.

Yes, I AM this organized. :)
