Been looking through past SCCA national results (armchair racing…).
The FiST was cleaning up until 2021, then it seems like the 2017+ Civic Sport came into its own. Last year was almost all CS in H street.
Since the power-to-weight ratio of the ST is so much better, is it mostly the stock tire limitations in HS that hamper it? Looks like you can run 235s or even 245s on a CS, then people throw on a Type R rear bar with shocks and have a good platform. The ST can run up to 215s, right?
Or are there just less ST people driving after Ford pulled the plug in the US? Thoughts?
