$2018 sub class proposal ideas

Cute Utes Amigos X-90s Crvs Rav4s

Deathkarts made from cute utes.

Ghettocet

Cop Cars

Dadjiban

Motorcycles

Full size American wagons.

Also could do a clean-up year, where all past sub-class vehicles compete. Would give the guys building a car that didn't get finished in time to make the show, still be included

In reply to Dusterbd13:

Wouldn't cute utes autocrossing already be deathkarts?

In reply to captdownshift:

Especially at stock height on slicks.

Indy: i actually really like that idea. A sub class for sub classes. See how many returns/new but old builds show up. It may finally give me my excuse to build a turbo northstar awd s10.

Deathkart for Cutie?

i mean the x90/sidekick/tracker/vitara/samurai are all banned by name in the scca rulebook

I like the crv idea.....Already got a build in mind using the first gen. Can we have an additional event for that.....sand drags.

The whole point is that the idea comes up organically at the challenge each year for the next. Thats how it happened this year anyway

Police cars, malaise era cars, or cute utes get my vote...

In reply to pimpm3:

If we do cop cars you better be able to get us deals on newer models so we don't have 10 crown Victoria's running around.

Already have my wagon/aristocrat car...

A 200tw one set of tires class might be a fix for the tire rule.

In reply to bmw88rider:

Does the engine build involve a B18c head on the B20z block?

What is the definition of "malaise era cars'?

If you are talking the 70's, there are some good ones in that era that can be set up fast and cheap.

But if you want crappy cars to start with, the definition needs to be tighter.

K-cars on a spec tire size.......like, 185/70/13.....

In reply to DeadSkunk:

Forget k-cars, just a spec pizza cutter class- no tires wider than 175, no treadwear rating softer than 600

90s ecobox class.

FWD Seats 4 4 cylinders Max tire/wheel = 8"/225 200tw

Sentra, Saturn, Protege, Escort, Neon, Civic, Corolla, etc.

And add a gas mileage challenge.

Please please please cop cars. I'll build one!

Dodge Spirit R/T

Simple fix. All cute utes must have outriggers with training wheels to prevent tipovers. Put tassels on the side mirrors and give them 70s bike paint jobs.

It would be fantastic except I'm not sure how to make a banana racing seat.

Spec Iron Duke. Fastest Iron Duke-powered vehicle gets an award! And no Super Duty Dukes!

All suggestions presented are basically platform based. What if you didn't base it on platform but come up with a "theme" subclass?

I.e., don't limit platform but in a nod to concours competition have a stated appearance theme such as:

MOVIE CARS...Mad Max, CarsI, II & III, Christine, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Corvette Summer, Cannonball, Days of Thunder, etc.

HOTWHEELS: Your favorite Model

VINTAGE RACE CAR LIVERY: We've already seen some cool entries...Mumpkin Re-Own, Martini Justang, Petty Superbird Civic, Datsun BRE mini van, etc

CELEBRITY CARS: Elvis pink cadillacs, Liberate bejeweled rolls, Janis Joplin psychedelic porsche 356, etc.

There was one of these terrorizing my neighborhood last summer, think about it; power to weight, wheels on the corners like an old Mini. Paint it like a cop car for Tom.
