"Designed to fulfill the need for highly race prepared production-based automobiles, the “Prepared” category (which the CRB calls a working title) has been recommended, with B Prepared designated for SCCA World Challenge GT cars and D Prepared designated for SCCA World Challenge Touring Cars. Classes “A” and “C” may be created at a later date to fill the performance level gaps above and between the new classes.

“The creation of Prepared is a necessary and somewhat overdue step forward in the Club Racing division,” SCCA President and CEO Jim Julow said. “At the moment, there is not a real place for modern performance, GT and touring cars to compete in race preparation. The new category is similar to the current production category, in that it involves cars that were once street based prepared to a high level. What is different is the relevance of the cars to the current marketplace.”

Only cars produced since 1990 will be initially classified. The CRB’s goal is to maintain these classes as the marketplace progresses. Each car will reach a certain point, after it is out of production, that it will no longer receive positive competitive adjustments within the class.

“The historical similarity of having, for instance, a ‘BP’ on the side of a baseline Corvette is not a coincidence. It’s the natural evolution, with a 20-year or so gap in the middle. However, lumping the new category, which will run on DOT-approved tires and will likely have approved aerodynamic devices, into the current Production name is not the correct course of action,” Julow said."from the SCCA homepage

I wonder how a t25 or t28 KA-T s13 will fit into the new classes?edit: I mean without having to compete against tube framed monsters.

with a ****load more work, you would run D prepared

but simply bolting on a few parts and a turbo, youll get blown out of the water

Oh, I'm not thinking it would be simple. Nor would effectively using a turbo against the N/A guys. Keeping the turbo spooled through the turns would be difficult. A VV turbo would be killer, though. Of course, the swap ls1pwr is doing could be used in this class too. That's going to be a mean machine if he does it right. What exectly do they mean by "prepared to a high level"?

Why wouldn't you just compete in Street Modified, where KA-T and SR swaps are allowed.
