I have read the ECTA rule book and chatted online with some USFRA folks and now I am confussed... For Maxton what determines the bar/cage requirements The body style/make? The Class Record in the class I put my car in? The Top Speed I wish to run my car ? I thought that if the car was under 135mph no bar required, 135 to 150 was a 4pt. bar.. 150 to 175 is a 6pt. 175 to 200 is 8 pt, and over 200 is full 10pt, cage ?
I am building a 1933 Ford Vicky, it is a glass sedan with 3"chop top and no fenders or running boards. I will run engine class C, D or E... have not decided yet. I Assume my most likely class will be E/CGALT (running a 255 CI Chevy Small Block V8,, destroked 305)
If I stay under 175 MPH in standing mile.. do I need 4 , 6 or 8 point ?
Best I can see from the website is the Maxton class record for E/CGALT is 112.xx ?
Also can my gas tank be in the stock location ? Between the frame rails at rear of car ?
(outside the body, just like original 32, 33, and 33 fords ?)
