SCCA MAC ---- Moving Forward with New Classifiacation FM

[apexvinyltx]

It appears the the SCCA for Solo Events is re-classing the Legend from BM (Not Competative) to FM (you have  a chance).
 The allowences are great in that you can really make it almost purpose built.  
 Read below.......A direct copy from March 2011 SCCA Fastrack

Add the following new section 18.6:
18.6 LEGENDS AND DWARF CARS
Vehicles conforming to the US Legends Cars International racing series specifications (http://www.uslegendcars.com), with exceptions and requirements as noted in Appendix A, are eligible to compete in Modified Class F.
Vehicles conforming to the Western States Dwarf Cars Association specifications (http://www.dwarfworld.com/WSDCA-07.html), with exceptions and requirements as noted in Appendix A, are eligible to compete in Modified Class F.
- In conjunction with the above, add the following in Appendix A, Modified Class F (current section D should be increased one outline level to be under item C):
D. Dwarf Cars and Legends/600Racing Cars
Vehicles built and prepared to Western Dwarf Car Association or United States Legend Cars International specification are assigned to class F Modified.
NOTE: If any conflict exists between the Dwarf Car Rules or US Legends Rules and the Solo Rules, the Solo Rules shall take precedence
Cars prepared to these specifications are required to comply with the appropriate rules from their sanctioning body, except for the items listed below:

Sorry! I had to change what you had typed in blue as it was impossible to read.

Pretty much old news. A good reminder though. INEX rules do apply to Legends cars running in SCCA events if running as a Legends car. Pull the fenders, call it a Dwarf car and the rules change some.  My local SCCA club (Great Falls, MT) gave me the go ahead to race in FMod a  year ago. Some of our SCCA members here on the site have also gotten the ok for Hoosier and Good Year racing tires vs the BFG or Federals that Legends cars are required to run. I do hope that the changes in classification may get more people interested in running SCCA, or give people that don't have a track that run Legends cars near them another option.
