I was thinking that a post '82 Camero would fall into the Classic Category Rich. But then - like we tell everyone, read the rulebook and I remembered there are no Vintage engine classes in the Classic Cat.

Thanks for the info guys!

I'm going to run the '38 Lasalle, and I just ordered a flywheel from Wilcap.

the aluminum flywheels are for very light cars

V12 has extremely high overlap of both power and compression loads, and needs almost no gyro inertia added for smooth operation. Aluminum is fine.
