SCTA holds events at El Mirage and Bonneville. The ECTA holds events at Maxton, North Carolina. The ECTA rules are very close to SCTA rules with a few extra classes for Nascar style stock cars and a couple of street classes.


Hope this helps,

It's my observation from far away, that the safety rules for the slower classes are more like USFRA 130 mph Club than SCTA-BNI.

For instance, this car lsr.com/Gallery/albums/uploads/2007/September2007/DSC03587.JPG (http://lsr.com/Gallery/albums/uploads/2007/September2007/DSC03587.JPG) would not be allowed to run SCTA (no roll cage, who know what else?)

Geography is the guiding difference between the two.

SCTA/BNI is West coast, ECTA is located in the Southeast of the US.

SCTA/BNI runs two different tracks; 1.3 miles on the dirt surface of the desert in Southern California. They also run on  3 & 5 mile salt tracks in Northwest Utah. The ECTA runs on a 1 mile paved runway in North Carolina. The rules are very much the same between the two as Joe wrote.

There are pending events in the Northwest and Northeast for 2009.

As Dan Said   From Phoenix  ---Sunrise----Sunset------ :-D

IF you are going to run a "STREET" 130 CLASS  I would talk to ECTA and USFRA
