Kieran Gobey Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Sorry if this is too rudimentary, but this is my first time reading the rules. Class A, B and C... are there minimum weight/hp rules we should be aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Weight" from the oem is used to determine the limits of what engine you can swap in, should you choose to do so. I say "weight", and not weight, because these numbers do not always match a reasonable number for the oem car raced (pages of debate on padded weights for mr2 and e30). If you don't motor swap you car, the weight of you car only matters in the rules to set cage tube size, if you race a boat. You will never need to weigh your car to pass or not pass tech, although they may get numbers to research the field to make sure the points are set right to keep the racing closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Mustang Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks from me as well, this is a good question for the newbie and is helpful. Bottom line is you are allowed to remove as much weight as you practically can on your car without penalty. You aren't trying to meet a stated number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
