Although I have yet to run with the Chicago Region, I have inquired about this. Basically other cars are allowed at every track besides Road America. Other clubs I have run with are much looser about this rule...you would have to check with your local region.

Tom, NNJ DEs are Porsche only except for the 3 "long distance" events as the events always fill up the first day of registration with just Porsches, if they let anyone else in they would have to turn away that many more P-cars. The other events, VIR Mosport and Mid-Ohio, IIRC, are members only but bring whatever vehicle you want. I suspect that MNY may be the same.

Thanks for the info so far. I know I can run the chevy with them, because my buddy runs his Z24 Cavalier with the PCA. He works for VW/Audi group and I would be specified as his "guest" to the event and allowed to run. Not to mention, I let a few of the local PCA guys run at our "closed event" autocrosses, so its sort of the reciprocity thing.
I was most worried about the NHRA rule for an SA2000 helmet, SCCA seems to be ok with a M2000. I know PCA allows M rated helmets... the guy with the cavalier runs a M95.
EDIT: NHRA only requires Snell 90, DOT, or SFI rating. Guess I have more choices than I first thought.
