Vintage Sedan Series

General

The current posted VSRG rules (with the exceptions noted) will be used for the 2006 season however rather than develop a rule basis that covers each class, the series will be based on a rule “skeleton” that forms the backbone of the series.  Each class is free to alter the rules as the class participants see fit.   Alteration of the posted rules is based upon participant voting that is further defined in the Membership Voting document.  Published rules are fixed for the season (January through December). 

Classes

1. The series consist of multiple classes based upon performance potential and SCCA Club Racing Rules and General Competition Rules (GCR’s) classifications of the 1971-72 seasons For B and C-Sedan class cars and the 1972 Trans-AM rules as they applied to the 2.5 Challenge. 
2. The following classes are defined for the series:

• 2.5 Trans-Am, Under 2.5 liter with dual Carb Size of 48/50 (Weber/Solex) and displacement greater than 1500 cc are required to compete in this class.
• B-Sedan, Under 2.5 liter but more than allowed by C-Sedan and maximum of dual 45 mm carbs.
• B-Sedan2, Under 2.5 liter but more than allowed by C-Sedan and single downdraft carb.
• C-Sedan (and C-Sedan2 if needed), Maximum displacement of 1300 (plus allowed overbore).
• Exhibition, any listed sedan that does not meet the current rules.  No points in this class.

5. Members may move between classes however points do not transfer between classes therefore a member could possibly accumulate points in all classes.
6. There is no restriction on moving up in classes however cars may not move to lower classes unless their car meets all of the requirements of the class.
7. Each year the class winners will be asked to serve on the Series Advisory Board and to serve as “Class Representatives” for the following year.  Service is not mandatory and when declined will be requested of the next driver based on finish order of the class until the position is accepted.

Voting

1. Membership is open to anyone however voting privileges are limited to those members that enter one or more sanctioned races during the current season where “current season” is defined as the calendar year that the ballot occurs.
2. Members earn voting credits based upon the number of sanctioned races they enter during the season to a maximum of  6 (or 7, depending on the number of races that can be counted for points championship).  For each race entered, one voting credit will be accrued.  The members voting credits are applied as individual votes meaning the vote of a member that has participated in 6 events will be much greater than a member that only raced once (in fact it will be 6 times greater). 
3. “Earned” votes are overall and by class.  It is anticipated that some proposed rules will be aimed as specific classes and those proposals will be voted on by only the participants of the class while others may apply to the entire group.
4. Balloting will occur during the month of October each year.  The balloting period (dates), method and ballot measures (proposed changes) must be published to the membership at least 45 days prior to the commencement of voting.
5. Voting will be performed in secret or via a secure web page.  An election review panel made up of race participating members will be appointed to review and certify the results. 
6. Voting is only to “affirm” a proposal therefore rules changes must be approved by 50% + 1 vote of the eligible votes that could be cast.  As an example if there are a total of 400 eligible votes a proposed measure must earn 201 in order to pass.  Not casting a ballot as the same effect as a “no” vote.     
7. Rule changes approved in the manner will take effect on the first of January following the ballot with one exception. 
1. Rule changes that would cause existing members to rebuild motors, purchase transmissions or make changes in carburetion may take effect no earlier than 12 months from the date approved.  Specifically we do not allow major “short notice” changes to be implemented that cause members hardships to make the changes required.

Points

1. Points Championships in each class are awarded based on the top 6 finishes of sanctioned races.  Driver may enter more than 6 races during the year however only their top 6 finishes will be counted for points.
2. Points for each finishing position are modified based on the number of member cars entered in the class that start the final race of the event.  Points are not awarded for any class that has less than 5 cars entered.
