Default Is it 13.49 or 13.99 limit for convertible w/o roll bar?

I went to the CCCA website today and read their rules. They were for the 2004 season, which is out of date, but it did say convertibles without a roll bar are restricted to 14.00 E.T. But, some other forum members said the limit is 13.50 E.T.

I've sent some email to the CCCA race director also, but does anybody know if this rule was changed for 2007? Obviously this is of concern to me, it looks like stock LS1 Camaros can run around 13.4 E.T. Either way I'll probably have to short shift or detune to avoid violating this rule, the question is, how much? ;-)

Does not matter. Yours should do either off the showroom floor.

Maybe i'll put a couple engine blocks in the trunk to slow the car down. Oh, wait, I have a 4L60E core sitting around. That would work, too. ;-)

Anything quicker than 13.49 needs a bar.

They changed the rule for the 2005 season. It's 13.50.

If your car is a stock '99 ragtop A4... and this is your first time out with it... you probably won't run faster than 13.50, My stock '99 Trans Am never got faster than 13.509 @ 102.5 mph.

If it's a stick... you might hit faster.. but I'd say you'd probably have to spend some time learning to launch it before you would go faster than that.

More than likely... you do need a helmet though, needs to be Snell 2000 or higher.



Quick Reply: Is it 13.49 or 13.99 limit for convertible w/o roll bar?
