Just a little more information on SCCA creating a new regional class STL for Spec Miatas and others. ITA was never going to reach a national class status partly due to the inability to assure tech compliance.
Hence, STL which is a fairly broad based group with more latitude, has been created as a regional class but intending to ultimately become a SCCA National class much like STU.
Not 100% correct on this, but it has been mentioned that a couple of non-compliant issues for spec miatas in ITA is changing out front spindles and converting the 90-93 cars to a '99 torsen diff.
Obviously, Conference can continue to include SM in ITA Group 5 if that is the consensus of the board. Stay the course as they say.
