Here it is!
Included in this email is the proposal for the new CATEGORY which will break
the current Modified Category classes by year. This proposal will create a
new category between the existing Vintage and Modified Categories. The body
year break will be 1949 to 1981 inclusive.
Note that the engine breaks are restrictive as the new category will deal
with AMERICAN coupe and sedan bodies only. There will be no Competition
Coupe classes. The reasoning is that competition coupe rules are very
liberal and the choice of body is a personal issue. All other rules in the
category will be the same as the current Modified category as far as aero,
engine swaps, transmission, etc.
You have the opportunity to cast a vote as to the degree of mechanical
sophistication in this new category. The name of the category is not yet
decided. You also have the chance to name this category through a contest
administered by Jon Amo on his web site www.landracing.com.
When choosing your name for the category please be aware that our class
naming convention is laborious at best. An example would be: XXO/BACFAlt (AC
= American Classic). Lets not make the class name longer than the vehicle.
Please distribute the proposal to your buddies who may not be internet
savvy. This is an unprecedented opportunity to take part in the process.
Thank you,
Dan Warner
Southern California Timing Association 2001 Rule Book Proposal
The following sections are recommended rules changes to add the "Nostalgia
Category" into the new 2001Rule Book.
Purpose:
To split the Coupe/Sedan car classes using newer aerodynamic cars (1982 to
present) from the older less aerodynamic cars (1949 through 1981). This
change
will make the older cars more competitive and still allow the newer cars to
compete amongst themselves. All old records will be re-established and
those records set by newer cars will stay with them in the current Modified
Category classes. Here is an example; John Rain's car (1989 Indy 500
Pontiac) record of 274.5 MPH for D/PS will stay with him in the current
Production Category class, but in the newly established Nostalgia Category,
Ron Hall's car (1963 Avanti) old record of 195.6 MPH will be re-entered into
the record book for D/NPS class. This way no one looses a record and the old
records are reinstated. Carefully read the two options in the Nostalgia
Category and vote your
opinion on the spaces provided. The two options are; Option 1A or 1B on one
subject and Option 2A or 2B on the other subject, you must vote for one of
the two choices for each option. Also, vote for or against the proposal of
adding the new Nostalgia Category to the 2001 Rule Book.
The goal is to have every race car owner in the Coupe or Sedan class vote on
these changes. The race car owners voting can be those who race at
Bonneville, the Dry Lakes, Maxon or all venues. Each race car owner
will have one vote on the outcome of this consideration of rule changes.
Its important that all owners vote and mail their results to Bob Sykes Jr.
by no later than November 1, 2000. At that cutoff date, the ballots will be
tallied and the results will impact on what changes go into the Southern
California Timing Associatation Rule Book for the year 2001. So please
don't sit on this, study the changes then vote and mail your results ASAP!!
