The latest FasTrack says that the SEB/SAC/whatever has ruled that the
Club Sport is an options package and is eligible for stock class.

It will be available to anyone.  SCCA members, Team Suppport members,
and Miata Club (don't know which one, MOC or MCA) get to order theirs
before it is opened up to everyone else.  It may actually be open to
everyone by now.

Of course, this is the Solo2 rules definition of "stock", and since SM
inherits its default rules from CSP, I think that update/backdate
applies the same way to both.  I can't imagine being allowed to do it
in CSP but not SM2.
