So, is this actual road racing W2W or limited to autocross?

In order to run a legends car in SCCA, I believe you'll have to get an SCCA car LOGBOOK and have your car 'certified' for SCCA competition. .. actually HERE (below) are the specific rules for the class...
You'll also, of course, have to be a MEMBER of SCCA .. and read up on the SCCA Rules for Road Racing in the GCR. As a newbie in SCCA, you'll have to get a NOVICE PERMIT (https://www.scca.com/downloads/3234-...-form/download) as well and follow the rules for that ... however, if you have a current w2w racing license with any organization, you might be able to get waived directly to a full competition license. You'll have to check with your Divisional Licensing Steward to follow that path. (https://www.scca.com/downloads/3236-...ience/download)
You'll have to provide a filled out PHYSICAL exam - also available on the SCCA website (https://www.scca.com/downloads/2800-...cense/download). It's a simple form and can be filled out at most 'doc'n'box places.
Your driving gear will also have to be REAL driving gear meeting the SCCA requirements.
It's a SIMPLE process .. but has lots of details, i's and t's that have to be followed.
From the GCR (General Competition Rules - current downloadable copy available at https://www.scca.com/downloads/63859...tember-updated)....
