Well, the quick answer is that we're talking about the SCCA (it's not
supposed to make sense - sorry, I spent way too much time in
impound at the Runoffs - like 12-14 hours!). The real answer is that
it is historical. Prepared was designed to be a place where "real
race cars" (as in retired road racers) could run. SP was designed
for the "hot rodders" who'd modified their street cars with bolt-on
type stuff. Most people erroneously assume that there is a
single progression from stock to SP to P to Mod; however, there
are really two progressions (S to SP to Mod and S to P to Mod).
Hope that helps,
