I attended the first event - bummer about the rain - but had a fun time. I was reading the rules and don't recall these paragraphs from prior years. Could you explain a little about the vacuum test?
I'm a bit concerned about some of the parameters about not idling etc... When I was there b4, my car was running like shitt because I'm not an experienced tuner, (special thanks to the two guys from Kansas who really helped me out
). Is it possible to get bounced out of a class because your car surges or doesn't idle - even though it has stock TRW 11.0:1 pistons (+30thous) and the GM blueprint cam? I have a factory stock car, and don't want to be put into a fast class.
Excerpt from the rules page:
"Your car must still look and sound and idle like a factory stock 60's muscle car. This means you must be able to idle at 900 rpm in gear, if not you'll be put in F.A.S.T class. If your car surges (because your cam is too wild at idle), you will be moved into F.A.S.T class
Any car that runs faster than 12.30 in Factory Stock class will be subject to mandatory vacuum test of 15" of vacuum at 900 rpm, we will check the compression of your engine, to see if you are over stock compression by more than a point, we will check the cubic inches of your motor to make sure you are not more than 10 cubic inches over stock."
