Very true; if I remember correctly Eric Morehouse finished 3rd one year, the Neon ACR juggernaut showed up the following and he was 18th the next year.

Yup. I just pulled the list of Showroom Stock C champs from the SCCA Runoffs media kit. Very few cars enjoyed a long run at the top.
And since I enjoy command-4, here are the national champs for the other Showroom Stock classes. I wish this info included the car's year of manufacturer.
You'd think Peugeot could have capitalized more on all of those SSB wins :-)

Need to get more body roll back into racing!
OMG! necroposting!
But This came up because the search function works.
Anyway, how does one come by the ruleset/preparation guidelines/ GCR for a time long gone? Say 2001 or thereabouts, specifically for Showroom stock?
I was thinking, that's when things are rapidly digitizing by that point, surely a PDF exists somewhere?
Thanks.
Don't know how I missed this thread on it's first go round.
I worked for Joe Varde in '88 on his Firehawk team. That picture on the Classic Motorsports link is of Doug Goad's Pontiac Trans-Am, probably at the West Palm Beach Fairgrounds that year. The Porsche 944 in the picture next to it is from Dave White Racing, who was just down the street from us in the industrial park by the Tampa Airport.
We started off the first three races running an IROC Z for Joe, and a TA for Doug, until GM decided they wanted Pontiac to win the IMSA Firehawk title, and Chevrolet to win the SCCA Es-cort Endurance title.
In our testing on the dyno, the intake difference between the Camaro and Firebird was about 5-7hp. The Camaro got it's air from a high pressure area in front of the radiator, the Firebird got it from a canister behind a headlight. Joe was quite concerned about giving up that horsepower. A balanced and blueprinted 305 TPI was making about 250hp for us.
