Did they just put the stock CR on 17x9s with some 255 street tires or something? I assume they at least did that?

Did you guys even look at the results? Cassino was driving a Marc P's CR. Wayne VanVoorhees was co-driving with Reyenga.
Well for a while it showed Mike Cassino in the STS miata. Which I actually believed for a little bit. I guess they fixed that.

Hmm... I thought he was driving J's White CR. Crazy how well the stock CR did in STR. Good car and good driver.

Mike was driving Jadrice's B stock CR on 17x8.5 SSR Type F wheels with 255 Hankooks. Wayne was driving Reyenga's AP1.

Yeah, that was the car I was offered when Meredith's clutch went. I was kicking myself after I saw how well he was doing after second runs the first day! Easy to say after the fact though and if I had to do it over again I would have probably chosen the same thing. Wish I could have landed a good STR ride this season but it will have to wait until next year.

Who is in 12th spot then? Maybe a different Mike Casino with one S?

With the way 4.8.A. is written currently I don't see how it could happen. The best you could hope for is a proposal for changing 4.8.A for the 2012 rules and that change allowing the SEB to make STR National then. Given that it looks like the ST re-org is likely to be a 2012 thing, I suspect that's what will happen.

Making STR National now would be in direct contravention of the current rule, and sets a horrible precedent for following the rulebook and the process for changing it, no matter how awesome the participation has been.
The letters need to go directly to your BOD representative...hint hint

Drew is right - the SEB does not have the power to make this decision.

There is a rumored upcoming re-organization of ST, to include all Stock-eligible cars, and provide enough classes for them all to feel at home.
You might want to check your sources on that one...

Do you think this could be because of the anti squat?
It seems better when the rear is lower than the front but it still gets loose on corner entry if off throttle. It's very annoying and I originally thought it was a rebound issue but don't think it's possible with the amount of rebound I'm running now.
It has been my experience that lowering the rear in relation to the front decreases front weight transfer on lift and increases rear weight transfer on accel. It should stabilize corner entry and stabilize throttle application.

Which it does but why does this car get loose like that in the first place?
Is it a torsen issue or does this come from suspension geometry like anti squat?
