compete for the Dry Lakes Season Championship in the competition year 2002.
Add new minimum to Unblown Fuel Modified Roadster records:
V4F/FMR Minimum 100.000
Classic Category
This category encompasses American coupes and sedans produced prior to and
including 1981,
with a production rate of at least 500 vehicles of the same model for sale
to the general public. The classes within this category are intended to
provide a venue for coupes and sedans from the "Golden Era" of American
automobile production. Vehicles will include post-vintage cars such as the
1949-50 Ford and Mercury through the popular Muscle Car years of Camaros,
Mustangs and Chargers. Entries must be unaltered in height, width, and
contour with all stock panels, i.e. hoods, fenders, doors, etc., mounted in
their original relationship to each other. The vehicle must have been
originally produced with suitable seating for four adults. For reasons of
economy and historical authenticity, certain electronic engine technologies
are not allowed.
Vehicles within the year range of 1928 and 1948 using a non-vintage engine
such as a Chevrolet or Ford OHV V8 may compete with the fenders removed. All
safety requirements dependent on the existing class record must be met. In
the case of no class record the next higher-class record will be used for
safety requirements. Body and chassis modifications as allowed in the
equivalent Modified category class may be used.
Classes within the Classic Category are the equivalent of the Modified and
Production categories with body modifications as allowed in those
categories.
The following items are allowed; capacitive discharge type ignition systems
with rev limiter. Carburetors or mechanical fuel injection. One distributor
or one magneto, one ignition system only. OEM EFI and sensor controlled
ignitions are allowed but must be stock and not modified in any way for the
year and model of the vehicle entered. Direct reading gauges, either
electronic or mechanical.
The following items are NOT allowed Electronic Fuel Injection, EFI. Sensor
controlled engine management systems with feedback loop. Multiple magnetos
or distributors. Computers, which effect engine operations as, described in
sect. II-17. Data recorders that either print or download functions of the
engine or vehicle performance.
It is intended that the vehicles for which these classes have been created
will compete in the Classic Category. The only exception is for vehicles
with a non-O.E.M. electronic fuel injection system, EFI. Vehicles using a
non-O.E.M. electronic fuel injection, EFI, may compete in the Modified
Category classes with all other modifications allowed for the class entered.
In order to prevent a vehicle from competing in both the Classic and
Modified categories, the following policy is established:
Once a vehicle in this category has competed in a SCTA/BNI sanctioned event,
the vehicle must forever remain in the category in which it first raced.
Body classes: /CBFAlt, /CFAlt, /CBGAlt, /CGAlt, /CBGC, /CGC - Engine
classes: A, B, C, D, E
Body class: /CProd - Engine classes: AA, A, B, C, D, E
Body class: /CPS - Engine classes: C, D, E
The rules for this new category are being tested for one (1) year. Vehicles
may compete for records, individual and club points, but CANNOT compete for
the Dry Lakes Season Championship in the competition year 2002.
