varity of classes

["Dan Warner" <dwarner@electrorent.com>]

Were there classes for the
first jet powered streamliner or cars? How about electric? Did those exist
before or after the first vehicles were built?  What about turbine power?
Did they build to the "rulebook" or did the adapt the book and the rule book
caught up later? A curious thought and no flames or insult intended or
implied..
******************************************************************
If you read the rulebook you would find that:

a) There are no classes for thrust vehicles - this is an FIA only deal.

b) The turbines were added as there is no equivalent cubic inch formula to
base a "class" on. There exists in the FIA and SCTA-BNI rulebook the option
for non-Otto cycle power if driving the wheels through a transmission of some
sort.
