Hi everyone,
like many people here, I have multiple racings projects at various levels of completion sitting in my shop. I though this little one would be ready for next year but we recently had a little set back due to my inability to read the rulebook correctly.
We have this little mid 60s European car that was originally powered by a 490cc carbed engine. Having glossed over the engine classes, I was just going to replace the engine with a more modern one, still under 500cc tunning it's stock EFI running fuel and Electronic ignition. Now lets go race in CFALT K- displacement... WRONG!!!
After a conversation with someone at the SCTA over a couple emails, I was schooled that there's NO K engine category for Classic smallest allowed is J and NO EFI end of conversation....
This week I am pulling the engine out, selling it to finance a new engine, going to find a larger one to compete in J- displacement , run carbs and redesign the subframe around the new engine...It was my mistake...
So now, Can someone help me and tell me in what category my car falls into ?
1965 European car RWD (Sold in the US)
Stock body panels except for a panel covering the canvas sunroof hole.
I may add a wing and front air dam if I end up in a class where its allowed
Engine swap for modern 690cc engine, carbed, running fuel
Electronic ignition (stock motor)
Chain drive RWD
After carefully re-reading a couple time the rulebook I understand that I would be in Classic Fuel Altered J displacement.
But If you think Id fall into another class I just trying to avoid building and tearing down again like Lego blocks...
Thanks
Peter
