Default Does SBI still have a class 5?

Just curious if SBI has a class 5? I looked on the web site but only saw a P-4 class. What is the bracketted speed for this class? Any special GPS requirements?
I'm tossing the idea around about maybe racing Sarasota after OPA's Sunny Isle race. I'm going to be staying at my family's condo in Ft. Myers the week after OPA' race, and was half-asssed considering racing in class 5 if its still available.
What would the total cost be for one event?
Thanks!
Bob G.

I believe their Class 4 is the same as our class 5, except the speed is 80 mph.. Garmin GPS required. I will loan you my Garmin if you don't have one. I think the model they require is hard to find. Smitty

Smitty is correct, the P5 class is no longer and P4 is now single engine class with a max speed of 80MPH
