Re: It should be noted...
I think the rear-end shouldn't be listed. I mean, if they don't have the IRS then it's more of a racer than a street car. Isn't that the point of the quickest SC? I agree, the timeslips should be a link. I also think the mods should be listed... even if it's like "custom tranny". It'll help give new modifiers a direction to go.
I also think some of the rules need to be revised somewhat. These are my opinions so take it with a grain of salt.
1. If a drag racing style suspension is used, this MUST be specified.
I think IRS should be retained IMHO. I also think the car must be street legal and be able to pass emisions. You can always take the cats off later.
2. Your engine must LOOK like a Ford 3.8L SC engine. Boring/stroking acceptable.
This needs to be addressed. Is this block only? Does this mean Manny's inverted setup or George's Whipple will not be vaild? What about cars with front mount IC's, or custom raised tops (XR7 Dave's comes to mind)? These change the appearance but the rules say all power adders are OK. I'm just wanting a clarification.
3. Any other engine than a Ford 3.8L SC based engine is NOT valid.
What if someone had an aluminum block made or uses cast iron heads? I know it's a long shot, but you never know what someone might do.
4. Someone must attest to your run. Another SCCoA member is preferred but not necessary.
Good point, but it's hard for people like me to have someone watch. I'm pretty much the only SC'er in Memphis. Can a pic of the car with the number on the window (at the track) be used to verify my timeslip?
Don't want to start a war... thanks.
