Hey all,
Picked up my copy of the SCCA 2003 rules. They upped the
allowed displacement of the OHC engines to 4.0 for both
Forced induction and N/A . N/A has a tough minimung weight
of 1900 pounds, but the forced induction cars wieght limit is
2100 pounds . Hmmm a 3.3 liter stroker VG turbo engine would fit in that catagory well

 

Wow, are you sure that isn't a typo.....
Is there any other changes? I haven't picked up my copy yet. BTW do you know if the Eurobumpers are ok to use for that class?

 

Nope it isn't a typo. SM remains the 3 liter limit. It really doesn't say much other then the vehicles must b as originally delivered wiht road going equipment., but it does allow body kits . Since its still a regional class . I think your local club could tell you what they allow.

 

Guess they're begining us Datsun guys to put in a turbo charged version of the new 3.5L
I thought that SM2 it was finally a national class....at least there was a national champion for that class last year. Guess I'm cornfused about when/what it takes to make it official.

 

They did run it at Nationals last year. They mixed it with the Emod guys I believe , but were close to having enough entries to form a National class.
I think they will be able to do it this year

 

NVM - I had bad info. SM is a full national class, SM2 is still "regional optional... Supplemental class at National Tour and ProSolo National Series events." Though I'd imagine that there will be a full national class in the next couple of seasons. Wea re usually one of the 3 largest classes in our region (usuall 8-10 drivers in SM2 out of ~ 150 drivers).
