Here goes!
I just got thru voting on the purposed class changes and as an owner of a 53
Stude I feel that the purposed change was as fair as possible. I think that
I can compete with any body style up thru 81. As far as the electronic ign.
is concern I feel what the rules comm. means is no adjustable after market
electronic ignition that you can set the spark curve to compesate for
positive boost, nitros etc. I hope the rules will pass as it will breed new
life into many race car projects.

break

body

> Note that the engine breaks are restrictive as the new category will deal

(AC

> 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.
