First credentials, then questions. I've held an SCCA and FIA competition
license off and on since 1967. I've done all my own mechanical work with
only 2 DNFs in all those years. (*****Mandatory BRAG QUOTIENT alert here -
also be aware that I have 3 magnificent grandchildren with a 4th on the way
so multiply brag quotient by 2.5*****) I've never finished lower than 5th in
any SCCA race since 1968.
I'm preparing a 1973 240Z (BRE replica) for historic/vintage events but know
nothing about the rules. I've begun sending off to the various (numerous!)
sanctioning bodies but would appreciate all help until I get rules books.
First, when will it be eligible for vintage/historic racing? Second, how
much component upgrading - generally speaking - is allowed? For instance, I
have installed Toyota 4x4 twin caliper front brakes using the stock Z rotor.
Allowed? How about fuel cell? Roll cage? Engine mods? Adjustable coil-overs?
Again, generally speaking, do the various sanctioning bodies follow the SCCA
production car rules concerning modifications to engine and drive train -
that drivetrain components must have been offered originally on the car?
This post is probably just the beginning of a number of questions as I come
close to finishing the car. I hope I don't wear out my welcome.
