I just re-read the rules, I didn't see "must be licensed and insured" the first time through. Oh well I don't have TW200 tires for the C3 anyway.

this looks like the class for me. I don't like a lot of rules. "Run what you brung" is my kind of class. I do it for fun anyway.

Here is the information I found on the subject.
There are a few of us in the greater Charlotte area that plan on taking our C2's & C3's out to give it a shot.....:willy:

 CAM - Appendix BAPPENDIX B - CLASSIC AMERICAN MUSCLE (CAM)
Rationale: The purpose of CAM is to attract automobile enthusiasts to SCCA who are currently interested in and/or participating in the Goodguys® Autocross events or other similar events for "classic" vehicles (e.g., Street Machine, Muscle Car, Hot Rod, Truck, Street Car, Late Model, etc.) built in North America by manufacturers based in the US (e.g., "The Big Three" – GM, Ford, and Chrysler). These avid enthusiasts would largely be a new and different group of folks to join with us as SCCA® members and participants.
However, many of these types of cars may not have a favorable classification at their local SCCA® Solo® events. By having a simple, single set of rules used across the country, these new autocross enthusiasts would be able to participate in multiple Regional Solo® events with a more consistent experience. Additionally, this gives SCCA and the Solo® Events Board an opportunity to see the viability of this type of participation at all levels of Solo® events. Therefore, Regions are encouraged to offer this program and to encourage Classic American Muscle car enthusiasts to join the fun at your SCCA Solo events!

Other methods of subdividing based on local CAM enthusiast requests.

SCCA CAM Class
 
While the class would be wide open to someone who can spend huge $$$ and have a C2 or C3 with LS power, C5 or Bosh ABS, and any tranny/diff you can imagine; it could be alot more fun than trying to run a C3 in X Prepared on the local or divisional level.

It will be interesting to see how a well prepared '34 Ford kit car with modern suspension and power would get up to 3000 lbs! My old C3 NCCC Group III R/P car wasn't near that.

Gotta get off my butt and get a car running though. This being on the sidelines for three years is a bummer!

Chris, loved seeing your Dad's car at Bowling Green.

Danny Popp adds ‪#‎Goodguys‬ Autocrosser of the Year to his credits.

"This was the hardest field I've ever raced," Popp said of the finals where many of his competitors were SCCA veterans with championship titles. "My mom and dad raised me at the track, and today we got it done!"
