You had to ask. It can be complicated. SCCA has around 29 National classes. They compete at National events around the country and Canada. They are invited to a National RunOff at the end of the season. To determine a champion in each class. Then there is a regional leavel. There are 80+ regions. Each region has classes added, as regional only classes. IT, improved touring. It is further broken down into catagories. ITA, ITS, ITC & ITR usually by engine size and weight. ITC 1200 to 1600cc 8 valve motors, ITA 1600cc multi valve non v-tech to 2.7L sohc motors (correct me if I am wrong) ITS 13B rotary, 2.3- 3.0l motors 4 or 6 cyl. GT or Grand Touring are full blown tube frame purpose built race cars. GT-1 thuough GT-3. GT 4& 5 were combined to make GTL (lights) due to lack of cars. Then there are the formula cars.
Go to SCCA.org to get more info. Here is a typical regional event schedule and supplemental regs. I know it's alot but I want to show what it takes to run an organized club.
