> Rick,  Here is a copy of the category rules.  I
did not include all of the converted records,
just the part that pertains to the cars.

CLASSIC CATEGORY

This category encompasses American coupes and
sedans 
produced between 1949 and
1981 at a rate of at least 500 per year. The
classes in 
this category are
intended to provide a venue for coupes and sedans
from the 
"Golden Era" of
American automobile production. Vehicles will
include 
post-vintage cars such
as the 1950 Ford and Mercury through the popular
Muscle Car 
years of Camaros,
Mustangs and Chargers. Entries must be unaltered
in height, 
width, and
contour, with all stock panels mounted in their
original 
relationship to each
other, and must have been originally produced
with suitable 
seating for four
adults. For reasons of economy and historical
authenticity, 
certain electronic
engine technologies are not allowed.

Classes within the Classic category are the
equivalent of 
Modified and
Production category classes with the following
exceptions:

The following items are not allowed:

  a.. Electronic Fuel Injection
  b.. Sensor controlled engine management systems
with 
feedback loop.
  c.. Multiple magnetos or distributors.
  d.. Computers, which effect engine operations
as 
described in sect. II-17.
  e.. Data recorders that either print or
download 
functions of the engine or
vehicle operation.
The following items are allowed:

  a.. Capacitive Discharge type ignition systems
with rev 
limiter.
  b.. Carburetors, mechanical fuel injection.
  c.. One distributor, one magneto, or one
ignition system 
only.
  d.. O.E.M. EFI and sensor controlled ignitions
are 
allowed but must be stock
and not modified in any way for the year and make
of the 
vehicle entered.
  e.. Direct reading gauges, either electronic or
manual.
Engine classes allowed: A, B, C, D, E - Body
classes: 
/CBFALT, /CFALT,
/CBGALT, /CGALT, /CBGC, /CGC

Engine classes allowed: AA, A, B, C, D, E - Body
class: 
/CProd

Engine classes allowed: C, D, E - Body class
allowed: /CPS

It is intended that the 1949-1981 vehicles for
which these 
classes have been
created will compete in the Classic category. The
only 
exception is for
vehicles with a non-O.E.M electronic fuel
injection system, 
EFI. Vehicles
within the year range of 1949-1981 using
non-O.E.M 
electronic fuel injection
system, EFI may compete in the current Modified
category 
with all other
modifications allowed for the class.

To prevent a vehicle from competing in both the
Classic and 
Modified
categories, the following policy is established:

Once a vehicle in the year range of 1949-1981 has
competed 
in a SCTA/BNI
event, said vehicle must forever remain in the
category in 
which it is first
raced.

The rules for this new category are being tested
for one 
(1) year. Vehicles
may compete for records, individual and club
points, but 
CANNOT compete for
the Dry Lakes Season Championship in the
competition year 
2002.
