I am working on a project which will run in the H/DT class under SCTA rules.
I just sent my payment for an ECTA rulebook, and I'm not familiar with all of the classes which are covered in the ECTA. I guess I'm too anxious to wait for the rulebook to arrive, so I figured I would ask some questions here.
My goal is to be able to run one of the 2013 ECTA events (either June or July 2013), before venturing to Bonneville later in the year. I live in Missouri, so the 7 hour tow to Wilmington, OH is much more attractive than the 24 hour tow to Wendover, UT.
Looking at the existing records for the Ohio Mile, I see that there have been some DT records set (looks like C/DT and U/DT have existing records).
My questions are along the lines of - Does the ECTA allow the same classes as SCTA? Are the engine break sizes the same as SCTA? Are the non-listed classes considered Open Records? Are there minimum speeds to set a record for a given class?
Of particular interest to me is the H/DT class. Even if ECTA doesn't have an H/DT class, I'd still like to bring my truck and race, to get some good runs in and see if I can get some "real world" speed attempts made.
Not sure if this posting makes much sense, but I figured I needed to get a post on the board.
Steve.
