The SCCA has started a CAM class.
I feel with a few tweeks the SCCA CAM class, Goodguys and USCA could use the same rules.
If the 3 groups could work togther we could have 3 places to run our cars under the same rules.
Classic American Muscle (CAM)
The purpose of CAM is to attract automobile enthusiasts to SCCA® who are currently interested in and/or participating in the Goodguys® Autocross events or other similar events for “classic” vehicles (e.g., Street Machine, Muscle Car, Hot Rod, Truck, Street Car, Late Model, etc.) built in North America by manufacturers based in the US (e.g., “The Big Three” – GM, Ford, and Chrysler).
Eligible Vehicles
• Vehicle must be considered a “street legal” (lights, wipers, etc.), US-domestic automobile of front-engine/RWD configuration or a “pick-up” truck. Must be licensed and insured.
• Vehicle must pass the mandatory safety inspection (tech) and be in compliance with Section 3, Vehicles, of the 2014 SCCA® National Solo® Rules.
• Vehicles must be 1984 or older.
• All body panels must be present in the original standard locations and may be modified or replaced. Exception: High-Boys (1954 and earlier), Roadsters (1954 and earlier), and Trucks (1940 and earlier) are not required to have fenders or hood sides.
• All glass must be present. Side glass components may be replaced by Lexan®.
• Interior must be finished and have minimum seating for two adults.
• The fuel tank/cell must be separated from the driver/passenger compartment by a metal panel/bulkhead. The fuel tank/cell shall not vent into the driver/passenger compartment.
Wheels and Tires
• Any metallic wheels are allowed. Non-metallic wheels must be certified from an appropriate, recognized standards organization (e.g., FIA, SFI, SAE, TUV, etc.).
• Only DOT-approved tires with a UTQG Treadwear Grade of 200 or more are permitted.
Body Electrical System
• Electrical components and wiring are unrestricted.
Brake System
• Brake system and components are unrestricted.
Suspension and Steering
• Suspension and steering components are unrestricted. Method of
attachment is unrestricted.
Engine and Drive Train
• Engine, drive train, and associated components (internal and external)
are unrestricted.
CAM –T (Traditional):
Gen 1-3 Mustang,
Gen 1 & 2 Camaro/Firebird,
Gen 1-3 Barracuda/Challenger, plus similar generation coupes/sedans going back to 1959
CAM –S (Sports): C1-3 Corvettes, Cobras, 2 seater AMX’s, Hot Rods
I would add the cars must maintain 90% of stock floor pans and maybe a minimum weight of 3000 - 3300lbs. No kit cars.
The minimum weight would keep the cars street cars.
I know this will not make everyone happy, but it would hit 80 percent of the cars.
