Pax is a way to compare runs across classes right? Basically I can run my car in SM and get points compared to STX or ESP, or whatever, correct?

I'm going to run my Kuhmo 712's, plain old street tires... I plan to get some dedicated rims/tires for racing once I can afford them, but I'm not sure if I'm going to go with street tires and un-mod my car down to STX, or get some phatty r-compounds and stick it out in SM. Basically I want to see how stiff the competition is in SM and STX... if a 300+hp WRX on coilovers and r-compounds has a chance to win SM, then I'll got for it (i.e. get some coilovers and r-compounds), otherwise I'll take off the ALK and boost controller and run in STX where I know I'll be competative... unless my driving sucks .

A few more questions: Are there different subclasses of SM, like there are in SP? Is there a pax for SM-N in Reno so I can be a bit more competative on street tires?
