[s-cars] UrS teardown question

[Cody Forbes]

I'm curious as to what sort of class/events you intend to run with. The SCCA 
tends to shy away from turbo's, and generally doesn't play nice with AWD 
cars. The Trans-Am cars sorta ruined it for us ;-). In SCCA club racing 
pretty much the only class where they may let you run is SPO, thier big 
catch-all where you'd be running against Porsche GT2 factory race cars and 
equally absurdly fast rocketships-on-wheels.

NASA on the other hand welcomes turbo's and AWD with a beer in each hand, 
you should give them a look. http://www.nasaproracing.com/
