Enthusiasts of CSR & DSR like the open nature of the class rules which allow innovation and experimentation.

Many different types of cars compete in the classes with a fairly equal chance of success.

The homebuilt race car has a place in CSR or DSR as much as one of the manufactured “ready to drive” cars.

New technology and innovation are often rewarded with success, yet older cars can still win, as proven by 2000 SCCA Runoffs DSR winner Al Beasley Jr. using a 1986 Decker (pictured in yellow on the left).

Sports racers are essentially what most people picture when they think of open wheel formula race cars, except that sports racers are covered with fiberglass/composite or aluminum bodywork. Car chassis (the structural framework for the cars) commonly consist of tube frame, space frame, and monocoque.

The class rules allow for a wide choice of engines, with each choice having its own displacement limit and associated car weight requirement.

Cars meeting the rules for DSR are also eligible to compete at SCCA Solo II (autocross) events in the B Modified class. In fact, some DSR cars have been built solely to autocross, like the Dragon SR1 pictured on the right.
