but i'm now considering stripping the interior to be maximiz the SpecE30/ITS ruleset and running DSP. Then my racecar could really be a racecar

You will move to a Prepared class. Only the a Touring class car can move to Street Prepared. And it has to follow the Touring class rule set. Any IT car would default to Prepared.
And the NASA Spec30 and CMC rules are between Touring and IT.
Did I miss a memo (or a fastrack?) AFAIK this is the way it's always been: 100% IT legal = SP legal.
So Jim, I dunno what the CMC rules are, but if your car would be
legal for IT, then you can run it in ESP.

15. STREET PREPARED CATEGORY
Cars running in Street Prepared Category must have been series
produced with normal road touring equipment, capable of being
licensed for normal road use in the United States, and normally sold
and delivered through the manufacturer’s retail sales outlets in the
United States. Cars not specifically listed in Stock or Street
Prepared Category classes in Appendix A must have been produced
in quantities of at least 1000 in a 12 month period to be eligible for
Street Prepared Category.
A vehicle may compete in Street Prepared Category if the
preparation of the vehicle has not exceeded the allowable
modifications of Stock Category, except as specified below.
However, the distinction between different years/models used in
Stock Category does not apply in Street Prepared Category.
Example: Porsche 911 models that are listed on the same line are
considered the same.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current national
Improved Touring rules are permitted to compete in their respective
Street Prepared classes. Neither Street Prepared nor Improved
Touring cars are permitted to interchange preparation rules. Improved
Touring cars may use tires which are eligible under current IT rules
even if they are not eligible in Street Prepared.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current American Sedan
road race rules are permitted to compete in Class B Street Prepared.
Neither Street Prepared nor American Sedan cars are permitted to
interchange preparation rules. American Sedan cars may use tires
which are eligible under current AS rules even if they are not eligible
in Street Prepared.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current national Touring
category rules are permitted to compete in their respective Street
Prepared classes. Neither Street Prepared nor Touring cars are
permitted to interchange preparation rules. Touring cars may use
tires which are eligible under current Touring rules even if they are
not eligible in Street Prepared.
Cars listed as eligible in and prepared to the current national Street
Touring (ST) class rules are permitted to compete in their respective
Street Prepared classes, with the additional allowance that they may
use any tire which meets the requirements of 15.3 and fits on the
ST-legal wheels and within the ST-legal bodywork.
Cars eligible for the current Spec Miata rules are permitted to
compete in class D Street Prepared, with the additional allowance
84 that they may use any size of any tire which meets the requirements
of 15.3 and fits on the Spec Miata allowed wheels and within the
allowed bodywork. Spec Miata cars in DSP may not intermix use of
the Spec Miata and Street Prepared allowances. The competitor is
responsible for being in possession of the Spec Miata rules and for
proving that his/her car conforms to the rules.
While the rules of the Street Prepared Category have remained
essentially the same, the laws governing various aspects of streetdriven
vehicles have changed over time. The original concept of this
category as made up predominantly of street-driven vehicles has
been rendered inappropriate. The SCCA does not encourage or
condone the breaking of laws governing pollution control systems or
the alteration of street-driven vehicles contrary to state and federal
laws regarding their use. It continues to be the responsibility of the
individual to comply with such state and federal laws.
See Sections 3.8 and 8.3 for documentation requirements.
Specific vehicle classifications are located in Appendix A of these
rules.
