Default Help with classing a car for Solo2

I'm a novice looking to start participating in Solo2 events. On the FAQ area of their site, it states that my car will be classed at the event, but the event which I wish to attend (The Road to Lincoln at El Toro), asks for class when you sign up.

I drive a 97 Prelude with the following modifications,
CAI, catback exhaust
Koni yellows with H&R race springs (have camber kits)
Aftermarket F&R swaybars (25mm)
F&R strut tower braces
Short shifter
CF hood

From these modifications I would class the car in ST which allows,

Street Touring - S
If your car is a normally aspirated sedan (four seats, four factory seatbelts, not sports-car derived) of 3.1 Liters or less, or one of a few small turbocharged cars specified in the rules, and perhaps prepared further than allowed in Stock Category, it may be eligible for one of the Street Touring Classes. Street Touring is an SCCA National class. Street Touring allows anything allowed in Stock, plus (roughly) these modifications:

* Any shocks, struts, and springs, using original attachment points
* Any sway bars
* Any wheels up to 7.5" in width that fit over stock brakes
* Tires up to and including a width of 225, with a treadwear rating of 140 or greater.
* Strut bars/braces as allowed in Street Prepared.
* Exhaust system downstream of catalytic converter(s)
* Short throw shift kits
* Spoilers, body kits, rear wings, etc.
* Pedal kits and other interior cosmetic accessories
* Alternate brakes pads and linings
* Any fully padded and upholstered front seats with reclining seat backs
* Removal of factory trim (rub strips, emblems)
* Alternate steering wheels of any diameter, otherwise meeting Stock rules
* Cross drilled and/or slotted brake rotors
* Alternate air cleaner enclosures
* No limited slip differentials except factory viscous coupler type units
* Stock brake calipers/drums
* Fenders may not be cut or flared (but specific modifications for tires OK)
* Emission-legal headers
* Emission legal modifications to Engine management system, either electronic or mehanical, but not both.
* Engine and transmission must remain unmodified, including emissions equipment

The thing I'm not certain of is me having the CF hood since its not mentioned in the above rules. Also, I'm not clear on the "sports-car derived" note in the first line.

Any advice you could provide would be extremely helpful.

Thanks.

The carbon fiber hood throws you out of ST and into SM, or if your region has it yet SSF.
