Wes,
The SCCA/IMSA nose and rear fenders for Monzas were never intended to be
legal for us. The IMSA copy you could buy from the showroom was legal -
neither worked in our application. The new category will not need a three
car minimum as the vehicles already exist in the current Modified Category.
