I guess we're all just a little peeved having spent money and realizing (or finding out, however you want to put it) that the car may not be competitive anymore.
I've read the rules for NASA ST and it looks like I will have to do a fair bit of modifications to the car (going backwards), which I don't want to do, so I'll stay with SCCA for now (I like SCCA more in general anyway). The rules can always change, they may even allow something crazy like individual throttle bodies for the F20/F22 motors, who knows. Until then I'll keep making my car lighter and maybe by March I'll be motivated to give it another shot next season. The runoffs are at Mid-Ohio, afterall!

ower ratio class.ower ratio is used as a guideline. I have noticed that with the points system I am classed as ST3, but using weight to power I am classed lowly in PTB, so I still see an issue there.Is the PT/ST classing structure purely a weight
ower class structure, I thought the points system superseded that?

PT is still points based, but you said ST which is weight
ower with modifiers. It sounds like you will want to run ST3 and then drop weight and add more power to get to the limit of the class. The other option would be a dyno reclass into PTB and then use the remaining 19 points to keep as many parts as you already have to remain in PTB.
