Look at the up side. The AA/CGALT record is 6 mph less than the AA/CGC record. 246mph to 252mph.

it is better to live one day as a lion, than it is to live one thousand days as a lamb. or maybe it is better to burn out than fade away.

     Even if it doesn't sat it, watch that "Spirit of the rule" thing. It'll get you every time.

Very nice.
I think you might have moved yourself into altered with the subframe. Check rule 5.D.3. I hope I'm wrong (one of those gray area interpretations of the rule)
thanks brian, i'll double check, then call lee and see what he says. THANKS

You could put a blower on it and run AABGALT and it's under 250 same with A. :cheers:

man, i can't believe this. :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o it seems that thundersalt was right. :? :? :? my new subframe and frame connectors bumped me out of classic gas coupe and right into classic gas altered. one of these days i'll figure out what class i'm building for. well i guess i should have read the rules 101 times and not just 100. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: ok so now i'm back to building a 1972 camaro to run AA/CGALT. instead of mechanical fuel injection, i'll run EFI. everything else will be the same except for engine set back. i'm going alittle more than the 2% in CGC.

  Oh well... Altered is better anyhow :-D
  We set the engiine back as far as we could in the 222 camaro and still get the heads off without going under the cowl.

One more hick-up  -  non stock EFI moves you into AA/GALT (out of AA/CGALT). The record there is 274 and change. Keep reading!

ok got the final word from mr.sykes jr. my build is good to go in CGC. i have a letter from him that says so. so there. and since i have continued with the build, here is what i have so far. subframe and connectors, main hoop, hallow bar, forward a pillar bars, sill bars, and what we are calling tunnel bars.
