Dan
In reference to the proposed "Nostalgia Class" to encompass Altereds
and Competition Coupes in the Modified Category, where should I go to cast
my vote, as well as read what exactly Proposition 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B propose.
As the owner and driver of the BLACK RADON 68 Firebird I would lean more
towards allowing different modifications to be legal for the class to make
the older cars more competitive rather than segregating the existing classes
again. I realize that any addendum to the rules will not make every
competitor happy, but in my opinion, this would be a major undertaking for
the SCTA to update the records, versus a rule change similar to the one
allowing pre 1949 bodies to be chopped.
Thanks!

Subject: New Category
Here it is!
Included in this email is the proposal for the new CATEGORY which
will break
the current Modified Category classes by year. This proposal will
create a
new category between the existing Vintage and Modified Categories.
The body
year break will be 1949 to 1981 inclusive.
Note that the engine breaks are restrictive as the new category will
deal
with AMERICAN coupe and sedan bodies only. There will be no
Competition
Coupe classes. The reasoning is that competition coupe rules are
very
liberal and the choice of body is a personal issue. All other rules
in the
category will be the same as the current Modified category as far as
aero,
engine swaps, transmission, etc.
You have the opportunity to cast a vote as to the degree of
mechanical
sophistication in this new category. The name of the category is not
yet
decided. You also have the chance to name this category through a
contest
administered by Jon Amo on his web site www.landracing.com.
When choosing your name for the category please be aware that our
class
naming convention is laborious at best. An example would be:
XXO/BACFAlt (AC
= American Classic). Lets not make the class name longer than the
vehicle.
Please distribute the proposal to your buddies who may not be
internet
savvy. This is an unprecedented opportunity to take part in the
process.
Thank you,

Southern California Timing Association 2001 Rule Book Proposal
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.
by no later than November 1, 2000. At that cutoff date, the ballots
will be
tallied and the results will impact on what changes go into the
Southern
California Timing Associatation Rule Book for the year 2001. So
please
don't sit on this, study the changes then vote and mail your results
ASAP!!
NOSTALGIA CATEGORY
The Nostalgia Car category will consists of American coupe or sedan
cars
from 1949 through and including 1981.
Note: the "N" has been added to the following categories to
indicate the
Nostalgia Car Class.
