Hello all,

Im looking for some guidance on what is necessary to prep a front or mid pack 4th gen f body for AIX. I am not new to f bodies, as i currently have a '95 z28 with a H/C/I 370lq9/t56 that is prepped for autocross/track days in the manner of koni yellows, strano springs, watts link, Brembo 4 piston caliper in front, all new bushing/balljoints, all the other usual suspension components. Ive decided a goal to get into AIX can be attainable because I am not too far off of the mid ohio track record according to their website. Mainly what i would like to know is:
What kind of power and weight does most of the competition have?

I have read the CMC/AI/AIX rules, but still have a few questions.

What is considered a NASA legal cage for AIX. Is a 6 or 8 pt sufficient?

I realize i would gut the interior, but I don't know if the fixed back corbeau seat I have is legal, I assume it has to be a metal type seat?

On the website regarding rules, you MAY use lexan for front windshield and rear window. By the cars ive seem I assume lexan is REQUIRED front and rear?

I see how CMC and AI are required to run toyo tires, is AIX open to any tire?

Thanks for any and all help.

I feel like I could afford either class, i just need to make a personal decision if I want to turn my street car into a race car. Or i could pick up a real cheap lt1 car, which i feel would be the better choice. I already constantly mess with my cars to get them performing better and better, so no issue there. I want to run in a competitive class that rewards your hard work and talent with a good finish, but very close side by side racing would be the ultimate thrill, but the cars still need to have power. Like spec miata, its too slow.

How is the car count and competition in the midwest region CMC?
