Ultimate Street Car Association - 2014 rules

[camcojb]

I need to leave an explanation in regard to what happened to the other rules thread posted yesterday. Jimi had originally posted the rules changes under his FM3 Marketing username. He later decided he wanted the post made under another username he created for handling this event (USCA 1). Since he wanted to keep his new username separate from the old one he had to start a new thread.

I cannot move the replies from the older thread over to this new thread because the forum software merges them according to the time of day they were posted; the earliest one would be post #1, and so on. When I tried, that pushed the new post#1 above down to position #10 or so since it was posted several hours after the original thread started. At that point the thread made no sense at the beginning.

Hopefully I haven't confused you further. We had to start the entire thread over, it was not due to any postings or problems in the thread itself. Please feel free to ask your questions again, I promise they will not disappear.

Question:
Under general rules #2- what about ethanol?

[mfain]

Question: Reference the following: "and have a factory affixed
OE manufacturer production tag or plate. The USCA does not allow kit cars, modern reproductions, or other vehicles that were not issued or do not have a factory affixed OE manufacturer production tag or plate." What about a production vehicle that has a "lost" vin tag but has gone through a state inspection to verify the title and frame serial number and was subsequently issued a state-affixed replacement vin tag? The car in this scenario is not a kit car or reproduction, but rather a production vehicle with a "Government" (state) issued ID tag rather than OE affixed.

Thanks

I think you guys will find that the rules have been put in place to give a general starting point to go off of, as with any sanctioning body. It's going to tough for Jimi and all of these guys to deal with because they will never be able to keep everyone happy. These rules will be scrutinized and will definitely be amended over time. I'm quite certain there will be many judgment calls made by the officials.

I can't speak for them, but Pappy you are getting way too technical with rule book. A car in the situation you are speaking of will be fine.

With some of this you are just going to have to read between the lines. E85, ethanol should most definitely be allowed. Its essentially "gasoline"

[James OLC]

Jimi had stated previously (yesterday) that E85 was OK.

He had also posted that specific "judgement calls" about individual cars (i.e. Pappy's car or when is a kit not a kit) would be dealt with individually essentially upon request.

I think that they have done a really good job in putting together a pretty broad rule set that doesn't specifically eliminate anybody from participating and having a great time regardless of what they drive.

My car started life as a European Delivery Vehicle and as Such does not have a Windshield VIN Plate, but is a Production vehicle with a Hard to find VIN Number

If the vehicle is not a kit car and it was not built specifically for competition; if it is street legal, licensed, registered and insured we would most likely include it for participation.

Pappy, we would allow this vehicle to participate.
