You must be an SCCA member.  Regional classes (PAX, street tire) are not
supported.

Well, usually that's what Divisionals are for.  If you don't have access to
one ahead of time, just ask to be shown the ropes.  The major differences
are all administrivia:  assigned grid positions, impound, more formality
about proper numbers/stickers.  The event competition is that of a normal
two-day event.

Sure.  It's not a "you really need to try this once" thing like a Pro, but
it's definitely good experience, and you'll know how national events are run
for the future.
