As is typical, it looks like your thread has been stolen by others.
My intention, last year (and for the future) is to take my car around the country (touring) and catch SCCA events when I am in their Region and the timing works out. In an attempt to establish some commonality, I asked HQ (before they moved) to give me something "in writing" about the classification for 'street' Cobras, so that I could present their 'opinion' to the local officials when they started scratching their heads.
The letter I got back stated that A Prep was appropriate for Cobra replicas with Ford engines and under 2750 lbs. (and original Cobras), and that B Prep was for heavier Cobras with Ford engines.
The caveat is: It is entirely up to the local Regions as to what class THEY want to put you in (which includes some local politics, on occasion). In my region, I had to lobby quite hard to keep them from placing me in E Mod. 5 other Regions where I have run or contacted about info for their events have accepted the B Prep (in my case).
Hope this sheds some insight.
Regards,
Frank Newman
