Re: Please help figure out what class my new toy will fit in

SMX is where I figured the car would fit best since its still street legal and runs on DOT tires. All of the other possible classes are for “real race cars”, not a swapped street car. It’s all just for fun. I’ll drive it to an event, run it and hopefully drive it back home. Thanks and see you guys a...

Re: Please help figure out what class my new toy will fit in

Re: Specials class rules

Thanks, got em! Back in the day when my father put together the original Specials rules, they were a bit more in-depth. There was a weight, wheelbase, displacement and a few other items. I see that they are gone, so it will be much easier to build a new toy.

Thanks,

Dan Jr

Re: Please help figure out what class my new toy will fit in

Because the car was used as a street car, the previous owner removed the poorly designed forward portion of the original cage and as it currently sits, retains just a rollbar. I won't run a Miata with a rollcage on the street for fear of hitting one of the bars in the event of an accident. I've been...

Please help figure out what class my new toy will fit in.

I have a 1990 Mazda Miata with a Ford 302 transplant. The car was originally build to compete in the 2003 GrassRoots MotorSports Challenge, which it won. Here is a link to a photo album of the car: http://s31.photobucket.com/user/w650gb500/library/V-8%20Miata?sort=6&page=1 Here is an article abo...
