v8 RX-7's, what class do you race in

Other than street and drag racing, what class do you all race in? eg. SCCA, ITS, road racing, etc.

SCCA Solo II autocross would go straight to EM or E-Modified.
It's banned from everything else SCCA has.

I kinda have the same problem with the turbocharged 20B. I can race in SCCA SPO (Super Production - Over 2000cc), so I would imagine that the V-8 conversions could also race in that class. This is a regional class, and may not be available in all areas, and the rules may also be different for different areas.

here's a V8-converted, E-mod 1st-gen:




as you can see, the rules allow/require quite a bit of modification I wonder if it would be street-legal, if the driver wore a full-face helmet/put street-legal tires/wheels on it?

Correct, for SCCA Club racing, it would be SPO. ITE is another class you could try (not sure of the exact rules there, but it's a catch all class, so you should be ok). In NASA, you'd run Super Unlimited.
