Default 2017 Updated Good-Guys Rules

Goodguys AutoCross Rules 2017
The classes for 2017 will be as follows: PRO-Class, Street Machine, Hot Rod, Truck and All American
Late Models. Goodguys will assign you to a class at the event during the Tech Inspection.
All classes will have the following general rules:
1. All entries must be registered participants with Goodguys for the event they are running and
must be street licensed, insured, street legal with all lights and safety items. (No comp entries
can run in the AutoCross except Sponsors of the AutoCross)
2. The registered name on the vehicle window sticker will be the only driver that can have times
counted or displayed. If you have two drivers, you must have two window stickers with the
different driver names (no more than two drivers in one car and one window sticker per
person). If someone else drives the car that is not listed, times will not count. Once a driver and
car are entered into the Shootout that car cannot gain any points for any other driver and that
car is the only car that driver can drive in the Shootout.
3. All entries must run a Goodguys AutoCross decal to run on the track; you will get this after the
vehicle has passed tech. PRO drivers must run a PRO Decal all season.
4. You must be present at the end of your class competition if you are the winner for pictures and
the awards on Sunday. If you are not, the runner up will become the new winner.
5. All passengers must be 18 years or older unless riding with parents. If riding with a parent, the
minimum age is 10 years old and the minimum height is 4 feet 9 inches tall. All competitors and
passengers must sign an event waiver.
6. Driver must have a current state issued license and current insurance.
7. All cars must be teched before racing.
8. After any incident, the vehicle must be re-inspected.
9. All decisions made by race officials will be enforced and are final.
10. No unsafe driving will be tolerated.
11. No burnouts to or at starting line or outside the safety area.
12. Smoking is not permitted in the pits, grid area or inside the racing area at any time.
13. Each participant is responsible for any and all damages brought on by themselves or their
vehicles at the event. They are responsible for any damages, legal fees and clean-up fees by
facility or event coordinators.
14. If a cone moves more than 50% out of the chalk box, it will be a 1 second penalty. If a cone is
knocked completely over or out of the chalk mark, it will be a 2 second penalty (see diagram).
15. Not stopping at the exit stop sign is an OFF Track penalty with NO time recorded.
16. No alcoholic beverages allowed for driver or crew members in the pit or track area.
Car safety rules:

or not visible will be exhibition only and times will not be recorded or promoted. No tires
can be down to the wear indicators.

So does open top mean 'convertible' or literally the top down?

It's a little off subject but does anyone know who this red nova belongs to and is there a build thread somewhere for it?
