I just checked the results from east coast nats, 4 CMC cars, all mustangs. I guess CMC is only for rednecks in the center of the USA, not the hipsters on the coasts?
I wonder what a COTA national event would bring, probably a field of 20 CMC cars.

Considering CMC is dead/nonexistent on both coasts this is of no surprise.
If nasa went back to One real national champ race and had it at cota I bet there would be a record number of cars.

The first Nats had 23.
I was in Monterey and attended West nats. The attendance was comparable with a regional event in TX. Spec E30 was a big class, the only CMC car I saw was in TTB and won. ST1-3 was a good sized class. One of the coolest cars I saw was an ex AI Camaro with a 7.0L crate engine putting 650hp to the wheels. The car builder got design help from some of the Nascar teams, it was very well engineered. The car ran in SU. It was great to see a car like one
we are racing able to compete with modified Z06 Corvettes.
Nice, any other details on that Camaro? A CMC car would get wasted in TTB in Texas, well in CMC trim. If you got the power up to TTB Power:Weight, slapped on some A7's, you could probably be competitive. Thats what would be so cool about a 98-02 F-Body, pull the restrictor and it would be a super easy dual purpose CMC/TT car.
35 page thread here. Car is no joke. It ran here a couple times @ Nat's w/ AI/CMC as an AIX car during its early build stages.
May have to register before you can see it.

Sorry,
I didn't check tires, the power was up, I want to say 335hp to the wheels. Un-corked LT1/LS1? Way faster than my TTC 2015 Hertz V6/auto Mustang. It had the blistering acceleration of a Spec 944, though it was fun going downhill.
I wanted to evaluate the new Mustang IRS. I would have to defer to Aaron on this matter. The 2015 handled like an overweight Miata to me. It was very forgiving and hard to get into oversteer, but it felt extremely heavy. I would need to weigh the IRS vs a stick axle, but my gut reaction is the solid axle is lighter and more nimble as long as you are used to it's quirks. I have never driven anything other than solid axle though.
