Not sure if this is the place to ask this question but thought that I'd take a shot. I'm running a stock 16 GT350 except that I have Michelin Cup 2 tires, long tube headers and camber plates installed. Reading the rules, seems that I may be STP - Street Touring Pony Car (STP). Did I get it right?
One thing I'll just add is that the stock GT 350's and 350R's have a tough time meeting our sound policy, if you went with cat-less headers you almost certainly won't pass sound unless you had some muffler and/or resonator work done downstream.

I can do a 2-3 hour shift on Saturday, during the afternoon.

Sound logs for Event 1 are attached.
So, Tom took my car for a run on Saturday and beat my best time by over 1 second  Oh, and that time (59.0 seconds) was FTD raw for the day as well.
I had videos of both runs, so I fired up Race Render and started doing some comparisons. I would post a video, but it's boring. Basically, Tom managed over 50% of his lead by short shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, while I held on too long and lost time when the red line limiter backed off on the throttle. The remaining time wasn't what I though it would be (me being insufficiently aggressive). We both swear by the huge lateral grip that the Miata provides, but I am taking advantage of that grip to be a bit too lazy and not getting close enough to the cones. The car is running at red line for a lot of the run, so I wasn't thinking of the time lost by going a bit too far around the cones.
FYI, the only place where I gained time on Tom was through the slalom, but it wasn't nearly enough to make up the difference.
Thanks for the opportunity to drive your car. The car can carry so much speed through the slaloms it's crazy, every time I got to a slalom I was braking way too much.

I'm not quite sure what happened yesterday? Those of us in the second run group did indeed drive in the rain but it appeared to be subsiding towards the end and after all had run the cones were being stacked. Was the event called because of safety concerns? Perhaps a drivers meeting would have been a good way to explain the circumstances. Regards PaulT
Definitely not a safety concern. Murray made the suggestion to shut it down as it was cold and miserable for the marshals, I was in agreement, the marshals I talked to near me were in favor and when I asked the remainder of the marshals over the radio if anyone was opposed to shutting it down it was radio silence. Not sure if anyone chatted with some of the drivers in grid? The forecast for the remainder of the day was looking worse not better. In hindsight we should have had a drivers meeting to see if there was any interest in people staying to do some afternoon fun runs (and then cleaning up, taking everything to storage, getting timing/radios to Murray etc). We didn't finish morning runs until ~12:45 meaning we wouldn't have even gotten going on afternoon runs until 1:45 best case, would have made for a late day.

Foamectomy on the seat? I always foamectomy my helmets. Grab some scissors and cut the padding out of the top of the dome. Not saying cut the actual structure of the helmet, just the padding that is there for comfort.
Haha can't tell if serious

Sound logs for Sundays event attached.
Big thank you to Ryan S who took our sound meters home over the winter, recalibrated them all, wrote up some great instructions on how to use them and cleaned up the binders.

I will be at Fort Macleod this weekend, so you can try my Shoei on for size.
Thanks Murray!

My shoei open face is pretty good, you are welcome to try it next time I am racing (probably May 6 as I will have at least the MR2 out by then).
Thanks Ryan, I'll take you up on that offer. Don't know if you can lower your seat (some cars actually have spacers etc.)? Others have taken some of the seat material out to lower the seating position for this reason.
Another trick I've seen is leaning the seat back (and perhaps moving it forward to compensate for the longer reach?) ...
And, of course, in time the seat will wear a bit and you will sit a bit lower.
Disclaimer, I have not tried any of these tricks so this is 2nd hand! hahahaha
There's no spacers or washers or anything else I can remove and I believe a foamectomy of the seat base is technically not allowed in street class.

Unfortunately my car has a sunroof, not the way I would have wanted it but it is what it is. Yesterday I noticed just how badly cramped I was in the car with my head really pushing on the headliner. This may be a silly question but is anyone aware of a lower profile SNELL rated helmet. Something that can gain me even 1/4" to 1/2" of headroom would be awesome. 5 minutes on Google leads me to believe that the HJC AR-10 II seems to take up a little less space above the head than most.
I currently have a ZAMP FSA-2.

Thanks for getting these up so quick Murray.
I had a couple oh s**t moments in the morning with ice mode. At ~5.3sec into the video I hit the brakes and essentially nothing happens. I thought I was doing a decent job of being straight before applying brakes but I guess not. Happened in the afternoon also at the turn in the SW corner of the lot but not quite as bad.
