Is there a reason that the Ford GT was classed as a Gas Coupe?

As you probably know Stan, the rules at ECTA and Loring allow running up in displacement.  Likely they used the same "C" engine in all classes entered.  I am just trying to figure out how a 2 place sports car was run in Gas Coupe.  Four issues - 1) only seats for 2 people, 2) no engine swap, 3) no quick change rear and 4) not running a non stock supercharger/turbocharger.

Does anybody know what kind of a car he was running?

Thanks to some sharp eyes and people that want things done fairly, I have been informed that Fernando Stelser was competing in the G/GSS class driving an Audi TT Sport which has a TURBO and is not qualified to compete in that class. It was suggested that I get in touch with Fernando and see if he would like to get this matter straightened out with the LTA officicals. Granted I was not there at the event to protest him, but I am still of the opinion that the results of his runs should not stand as  record in G/GSS, he should have been competing in G/BGSS.

I don't mind competeing and even being beat by cars that are qulified to compete in my class, but rules are rules. I do plan on being at Loring for the 2012 event.

I have not been able to find out how to get in touch with Fernando, but He can reach me by email at iamflagman@aol.com.

I was there as a vol, and while I can't speak to your questions on #1,2, & 3...  I do know they were running a non-stock supercharger.  No sure how that impacts things.

Could the results be a mistake in class?  Don't the inspectors verify blown or unblown.  That's not a small mistake. :|

I would think that this was an honest mistake, but a mistake just the same and his speed should not stand as a record in the G/GSS class, as it does at this time according the the posted records.

 I talked to Fernando about his car it was stock has a stock turbo. When I talked to him he didn't know what class he was in. He should have been in G/BGT or G/BGSS that I was running. He was  miss-classified.

Troy,

The impound is done on an honor system. You fill out your own cert.

"...he didn't know what class he was in."

This just about says it all.

Ditto.

Judging from the photos of various cars that ran there were others that were a bit outside what is allowed for classes.  Example was one Street roadster with no fenders.   From what I can tell the records in question were generally still somewhat 'soft', speed wise, and over time will be pushed up by 100% class legal cars.  However the Ford GT running as a Gas Coupe and setting records over 200 in each class is just wrong.  Those also qualified for 200mph club hats . . .
