"a car engineered and equipped for a race track like Nelson Ledges"
So... off-road suspension, then? ;-)
Mark, the SCCA's showroom stock classes were supposed to be about 'showroom'
stock production cars only modified with required safety devices - roll bar
and racing harnesses. It was a great way to get into road racing for limited
budgets and a great way to hone & show case driver ability. It got very
competitive & all aspects of the cars were looked at to obtain that 'unfair
advantage' - engines were blueprinted to optimize power within factory specs
etc.
It evolved into classes of racing where alot of the race winners were
determined in impound, after the race, determining what was stock and what
was illegal.

I raced a 24-hour motorcycle endurance race at Nelson Ledges once. The
track was so bumpy I felt as if I'd been run over by several
motorcycles afterwards.
