Yes, but under SCCA rules, that moves you from Stock to Prepared with
stripped-out, slick-tired race cars. Under those conditions, you may as
well keep the ABS.
Other clubs may have different preparation allowances, so ask around
locally.

events...
The car has to be in good mechanical condition and be equipped with seat
belts -- shouldn't be a problem for yours. You have to have a driver's
license, written parental consent if you're under 18, and a Snell 85 or
better helmet (although most events have loaner helmets if you don't have
your own). Again, local regions/clubs may have slightly different
requirements, so ask.

on paper to race?
I've never been to an event at which they checked your registration --
possession of the keys has always been good enough. Better make sure the
owner knows what you're doing, though. Better yet, bring him or her
along....
