As well as full engine management or changing of steering wheels or complete removal of the cat (or hollowing out of it)
I thought STS allowed for changing the steering wheel, if kept within 1" diameter of stock.
I was trying to keep this contour specific. the 1" rule is the stock class rule.
But both the STS and stock rules state "Steering wheels with an integral airbag may not be changed."
Since the contour never came without an airbag in the steering wheel they can not remove it in either stock or STS classes. SP classes let you remove a steering wheel with an airbag.

For autox, open face is fine. Just must be snell approved. For track events, it's best to check with the specific group. SCCA, NASA, and others may vary in their requirements. Typically, if you meet SCCA rules, you'll be fine for anything else. Check out www.scca.com

Can't find anything on the SCCA website for helmets....

That's funny. I easily found the rules including helmets for each division of scca (solo, club, pro,etc.) Basically what I found is you should go with a SA2000 or better snell approved helmet. Open face is fine for autox and club racing, which is what you're interested in.

I recently had my drivers liscence suspended.... Do I need a Drivers liscence to participate? I have lots of IDs. Car is insured and obviously I wouldn't be driving it to the event.

Some events require drivers licenses, some don't check for them. Best to check with each event you plan to attend.

SA is not required for autox. Track events vary.
M is sufficient if autocross is all you'll do.
My Snell M95 helmet is still good until (probably) 2010.
