Wow, not many options if you run LS power plant.
Whats that.
Close to half the field in one class?
And a stock engine (mine) runs against a turbo or supercharged engine (ie if he was racing Gareth).
How many SC540's run?
How many Daytona's run?
I personally dont care about trophies (ie i could stay home and save the $2500 fuel cost to get there and back to buy my own trophy), but really, all LS/Modular engines lumped with super charged and turbo charged cars?

Classes
Dave/Gav,
The Cobra classes have trophies from 1st to 3rd, the others i..e Daytona/SC540/GT40/Mustang have only one.
The bulk of the Cobra's will mixed between classes 2/3/4/5.
There are a lot of Windsor/Cleveland based Cobra's running around on Radials
or R spec tyres. The SF Committee decided to split the older Ford's from the
modern Coyote/Modular/LS/Toyota as it was felt there was too much of an
advantage for the modern motors.
FYO, in the last 5 years there has only been 2 Turbo/SC cars in the top
10!!!!! AND IN 2009 ONE OF THEM WAS A GIRL .

Dave, wouldnt you (and I) with our 5.7L LS1 be in class 2 or 3? i.e. Depending on tyres? as to Class 2 or 3? It doesnt exclude LS motors in Class 2 or 3. Just capacity and Turbo/Supercharged etc. Cheers Gregg

Not sure Gregg, the way I read it was that all modular engines are class 5.
Maybe a commitee member can clarify?

Dave, see Rohans ealrier post, this clarifies it. Class 5 for us.
I am happy either way - just want to improve my time and not break anything.
Cheers Gregg |
