    As near as I can see it would run as a FA. Did run it number of years ago in the FS class but that doesn't exist anymore. Too much HP for the FX class. You'd have to check with SCCA folks.

    It would run with SVRA in their Formula group with cars like FSV, etc.

    The FS class *should be* available at any SCCA regional race (or whatever they call the non-national/majors/super tour races).

    For some reason (just a gut feeling), I don't think this would be legal in FA.

    FX will only accept Club Formula Mazdas that are the same as when they ran in FM (except they are no longer limited to the Goodyear spec tires).

    I'm sure this car would be a blast to drive, and it looks great.
