I used to race a lot of Pintos--they moosh a lot of classes together in
the production classes--I was in H-Production class (I was racing a
Rabbit). I hated them. they were always blowing catastrophically and
dumping oil everywhere. I don't know how that engine can be so reliable in
all the other race cars they use it in and so bad in the original car.

First, the IT classes are not "National" classes, so they are
not eligible for "National Championships". However, although
you don't see them very often, Pintos are eligible to run in ITB,
GT-4, GT-3, F-Prod and E-Prod. Also, in the DC Region, there
is a Regional class known as GT-Pinto that is strictly for Pintos.
So, there are lots of places to run a Pinto in the SCCA if you
really must...
