Dan, I think George might have looked into the rules a little bit deeper if he was fitting an aftermarket part, rather than a stock part from another model year C5 Corvette. It isn't very logical to bump his car to SPA for doing an update.

Dan, the rules are available online, right next to the link to sign up for an event. It's pretty easy to find, download and read.

Pete, there's no update/backdate rule for ST.

There is update -- backdate in ST for brakes. :shock: I have read the rules everytime I consider a change in my car. I have not done some of these changes because of that but I don't think all drivers do that. They than end up with the ilegal cars. :cry:

"Do I have the option of moving myself up from ST2 to ST1?" Yes, as I understand the rules you can move UP a class, or ACROSS classes, for instance SSA to ST2.
