List,
I was just going over the December 2001 issue of Grassroots Motorsports
magazine and noticed a picture on page 16 of a red RX7 on the salt. What
caught my eye after reading the text was the cars class, F/MS. I did a little
research into the SCCA Pro7 class, where the car had been running and found
that it's for '81-'85 Mazda RX7's with basically stock 1146cc 12A rotary
engines in a basically stock chassis.
The article quotes Mike McCarthy of Surf City Racing; "We converted the
road race car to BNI-SCTA specs by adding a header, lexan windows, 15-inch
wheels and cool Moon discs."
That leaves me wondering if the owners simply chose the wrong engine class,
(1146 x 3 = E/ engine class) and a car class that the stock body doesn't seem
to meet, or if maybe there have been some rules changes that I missed?
